Boeing B-29 "Superfortress" Hill Aerospace Museum Boeing B-29 "Superfortress" History of the B-29 "Superfortress" Designed in 1940 as a replacement for the B-17 and B-24, the B-29 first flew in September 1942. In December 1943, U.S. Army Air Forces leadership decided to assign the future Superfortress fleet to Asia, where its extensive range made it well suited for the long overseas flights against the Japanese homeland in the Pacific. With the onset of the Korea War in June 1950, the B-29 returned to combat. Advanced features of the B-29 when introduced to the Air Force included a pressurized cabin, an electronic fire-control system, and remote-controlled machine-gun turrets. Utah's B-29 Connection Hill Air Force Base and Utah have a storied history with the B-29. During World War II, the 509th Composite Group-the first atomic weapons unit-trained at Wendover Field, Utah, an installation supported by Hill Field.
