Description

Softcover Boeing B-29 Superfortress Airplane Commander Training Manual (AAF Manual No. 50-9), marked as "Restricted," 8 x 10.5, 177 pages, revised February 1, 1945. The well-illustrated manual "serves the dual purpose of a training checklist and a working handbook," detailing the aircraft systems as well as techniques and procedures to be used by its commander. In very good condition, with wear and staining to the covers and minor loss to the corner of the first page. A four-engined propeller-driven heavy bomber, the B-29 Superfortress was one of the largest and most advanced bombers used during World War II—B-29s dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only aircraft ever to drop nuclear weapons in combat.
