you might want to include the bomber that competed with the b29 for the war department, just to add a little extra flavour. B31 Dominator. I is a pumped up b24 with a huge single rudder. a few were built and flew in combat.

typo error. Douglas was the designer of the bomber you mentioned, not Consolidated.

Cliff notes (thank me later):

 All B-29's are round at one end, Very VERY long in the middle, and then
round again at the far end.

b29's most notable identifying feature is the very large price tag ...  :O

Have you decided on your topic yet?  Or are you just looking for resources then decide on your topic?  Lots of resources just by searching google.  Try checking Boeing.com in there history archives.  I think it is online.

Are you sure it wasn't the former he fell off of?

Latter: of, relating to, or being the second of two groups or things or the last of several groups or things referred to
