Motor van een Boeing 'B-29 Superfortress'. 'U.S. plane workers finish engine for B-29 super portress. American aircraft workers complete assembly of an 18-cylinder, radia air-cooled engine for a four-motored U.s. B-29 Superfortress, largest and mightiest of all Allied bombers. Each engine provides 2,200-horsepower. On June 15, 1944, a task force of U.s. Superfortresses flew from newly completed as bases in China and bombed the Japanese Imperial Steel Works on the enemy home island of Kyushu. Following the raid, the U.S. War Department disclosed that the production program for B-29's will involve virtually every American manufacturing center. At the present time, six of the largest aircraft factories in the U.S. are producing Superfortresses, with hundreds of subcontractors turing out specific parts. There are 55,000 parts in a B-29, which can carry a heavier bomb load faser, farther and highger than any other Allied warplane.'
