Japanese Pilots Panicked as B-29 Superfortress Struck From Heights They Couldn’t Reach In 1944, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress entered combat—a bomber so advanced it rendered Japan’s air defenses obsolete. With pressurized cabins, turbo-supercharged engines, and remote-controlled gun turrets guided by analog computers, it could fly higher, faster, and farther than any enemy fighter could reach. From the runways of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam, fleets of B-29s struck directly at Japan’s home islands.
