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. The men and women of Hill later played a critical role in repairing, maintaining, storing, and refurbishing B-29s after World War Il to support the Korean War. Straight Flush Glen L. Martin Company, located in in Omaha, Nebraska, built this B-29 and delivered it to the U.S. Army Air Forces on August 6, 1945, the same day another B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, Its assignment history includes several bases across the United States. It retired from service in 1953 and then it came to the Hill Aerospace Museum in 1983. Museum staff are restoring this B-29 to depict Straight Flush (tail## 44-27301), assigned to the 509th Composite Group at Wendover Field, Utah. On August 6, 1945, Captain Claude Eartherly flew weather reconnaissance in Straight Flush over Japan to determine if there was enough visibility for the Enola Gay to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
