    Since dad's duty station was in the nose of the plane, he had a good view. He told about seeing a plane, probably a zero, approaching from the side. Quickly he told the pilot, "pull it up"! And the zero flew under them.

    My father was a bombardier on a B29 stationed on Tinian. He told us so much, unlike a lot of veterans, dad willingly discussed his experiences. When not dropping bombs, his job was to take pictures. The ones he told about was over Hiroshima the day after the atomic bomb, and the signing of surrender by the Japanese in Tokyo Harbor.

      It had fantastic straight-line speed and dive speed, but it was slow in a climb, had a big turn radius, and the early Allison engines lacked a dual-stage turbocharger, meaning it had a significant drop-off in performance at higher altitudes. Its pilots learned how to play to its strengths, and used its speed and dive to great effect, especially in the Pacific against the more nimble but slower Japanese fighters. Overall, it was a good early-war fighter that was meant as a stopgap until higher-performance fighters could be brought online, but ended up serving the duration of the war

  • @johngaither9263

    Dad's plane arrived late in the war. He only flew 8 missions. The last one was a weather recon over Nagasaki about 2 hours before it was A-bombed. He said by that time Japanese fighters would not enter a formation of B-29's at all. He did witness a kamikaze attack on the lead bomber once. The fighters would try to lob 20 mm cannon shells at the bombers from a distance but were very poor shots and in his opinion were not very good pilots either.

    Good analysis. You don't mention the B29's lack of fighter air support; they were from November 1944 to the fall of Okinawa flying naked. I bet your baseline data of B24s, and the European theater bomber data in particular, has at least some fighter escort support factored in.
