During World War II, the U. S. Army Air Forces used three different heavy bombers in large numbers. They included the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 Liberator, and the B-29 Superfortress, and of these, the B-24 received considerably less acclaim than the other two. Although it became operational late in the war, the B-29 made its indelible mark in history when Superfortresses dropped the two atomic bombs on Japan. With its unusual de­sign, pressurized crew areas, remotely sighted gun tur­rets, and other innovations, the Superfortress was a generation beyond the B-1 7 and B-24 in bomber develop­ment. It was also used only in the Pacific against the Japanese. But the Flying Fortress and the Liberator were true contemporaries. Both were developed in the years immediately prior to America's entry into World War II, and both were operational in all theaters throughout the war until the Japanese surrendered in September 1945.
