Boeing 'B-29 Superfortress'. 'Superfortress takes off to attack Tokyo industrial targets. Its four engines roaring, a B-29 Superfortress takes off from its base on Saipan in the central Pacific Marianas to attack industrial areas in the Japanese homeland. U.S. soldiers watch with interest as the giant plane lifts from the smooth coral runway. War plants in Tokyo, the enemy capital, have been the favorite target for the B-29's from Saipan since the new phase of the war against Japan was inaugurated on November 23, 1944.'
