The B-29 is one of the most recognizable aircraft, both for its unusual cigar shape and for the things that were done by it. During the Second World War, there was only the Pacific Ocean in the combat path of the B-29. We can say that this plane was built for only one purpose - to bomb Japan. And this goal was so important that the amount of money spent on the development of the B-29 exceeded the expenditure on the development of the atomic bomb. So when the Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, it was the most technologically advanced and expensive weapon in history. But at the same time, the atomic bomb was not the most deadly that the Americans dropped on Japan from the B-29.
