 12.7 mm of cannons equipped at a batter machine gun of the nose under faces are observed from the front. The rear is the condition where the door opened in the front and back bomb warehouse. |
 The unmagnetism armor plate is attached to protect the firearms control device with the crew. Although it is light the sufficient safety is guaranteed. |
 Standard electron device : Command radio set / Radio set for communication /LORAN (LOng-RAnge-Navigation) system / Radio compass set / Radio wave altimeter / Marker beacon receiver / Scale landing guidance system / VHF radio device / Collaborative distinction device / Frequency meter / Intercom device / Filter device / Urgent shipwreck SOS transmitter / Autopilot device / Seamanship and bombing radar Search radar / And a various kinds antenna ,Power supply of each independent device. They utilized such radio devices. And, it was confirmed that already the radar was installed to a captain machine. However, that time is the radar of low resolving power yet to grasp the lay of the land in the nighttime of the Japan proper that left 2500 km. I think that look the scope and the radar operator went through hardships very much. |
  Crew usually be 11 people: The front of the front cabin from, Bombardier / Pilot and copilot / Flight engineer / Navigator / Radio operator. The front of the rear cabin from, Starboard waist gunner / Port waist gunner / Top gunner / Radar operator / Tail gunner . |
 12.7 mm the cannons equipped at a batter machine gun to the gun support of the front upper part. 12.7 mm the equipment of the cannons equipped at a batter machine gun to the gun support of the front lower part. |
 12.7 mm the cannons equipped at a batter machine gun to the back upper part gun support. 12.7 mm the cannons equipped at a batter machine gun to the gun support of the right and left. 12.7 mm the cannons equipped at a batter machine gun to the tail gun support and 20 mm the machine gun and 6 cameras are equipped. |
 The fuel tank is installed full into the main plane. Furthermore, around of it installs it to bomb bays. In this way being full 35,000 liters of dangerous article to the gasoline tank it flew in 10 hours. I think that compare with the kerosene fuel of today's jumbo jet and was very dangerous. And, I think that it was also B29 that becomes covered with flames with the shot if an the enemy's territory. An interception battle experience person reports the interception fighter of a Japanese corps that approaches right under and this main plane challenged a gun with a shot hit 37 mm. |
 Divided the fuel system of B29 every the engine. It is because it considers it to reliability. The fuel is supplied with the pump of the engine drive. Fixing an electromotion pump to each tank exit as, a urgent business the movement between each tank has been enabled. |
 Air adjustment within the cabin: The temperature and the air pressure inside the cabin are controlled automatically. The air is supplied the 2nd 3rd engine with 2 independent systems by the centrifugal force separation style supercharger as the power resource. There are a back stage cooling machine and gasoline fuel heater in each supercharger system. It is adjusted with a certain heat regulator on the dashboard of an engineer station. As for the pressure adjustment inside the cabin, difference pressure is not linked to the above sea level of 2400 m. From 2400 m to 9100 m cabin inside was fairly controlling pressure to 0.74atm to 2400 m. |
 Cabin inside installs 16 oxygen cylinder the crew so that be able to go on with a battle with an oxygen mask at the time of a shot hit. Sufficient oxygen is able to be supplied to crew everyone for 4 hours with the above sea level of 25,000 feet (7620 m). Also, the flight in 4 hours are equal in the flying hours from a Japan proper to Tenian air base. |
 The antifreeze solution is poured along the front of each blade to prevent that the ice is stuck on the propeller blade. The supply of this antifreeze solution is carried out through the nozzle that was attached to the root of each blade of the propeller. |
 To, alighting to a bomb, alighting the fuel, small arm, ammunition, camera without necessity and besides the crew equips be discarded and discard it all. With the possess gun all the bombing sights and other secret devices destroy it. A crew must be prepared for and must be stay 6 day at the sea at a lifesaving raft at least after embarkation. And, the medical treatment equipment, quite a lot unstaple food box, drinking water goods were fixed to the procedure lifesaving raft(It swells out automatically with the discharge 5 people a ride lifeboat 4 boat) of alighting to the B29 operation manual, with a zipper and the others. I think that the consideration of possibility was done like this. Furthermore, as for the US air army commander in that time, the army of Japan is unhumanitarian. He is said to have instructed to alight on the water from land to the sea and choose the prisoner of war of the Japanese navy. |
The understanding of B29 is the precious information that knows the technology power of U.S. in that time. The design principle thinks the information that is useful also in the present. The hand that the interception fighter of Japan in that time becomes minus 20 or less degree C under ultrahigh altitude and hold an operation lever was frozen.
The fighter of Japan goes up in flames as soon as the shot hits the tank of the wing with the machine gun of B29. Therefore it said to have been called the cigarette lighter defense party. And, it is the such situation that does not change with that time when 55 years later see the present condition of Japan that is said to be an economic power now.
There are many problems also in present Japan. It is poverty politics, self-protection bureaucracy, financial influence society, Nearsightedness principle, enterprise death, restructuring death, bullying society, home collapse, human life slight. These problems think so as not to change essentially to not choose means for conceit and, purpose of the government agency under the war.
I visited the crash location of B29 in quest of a juvenile recollection. And, I meet again with B29 and editing this B29 photograph museum you saw it to all of you. And, I think B29 the heritage of negative of the world in the 20th century. Even Japan there is 50% or more of responsibility heritage B29 of this negative, to that U.S. made 3943 machine. It is while at present is restored 1 B29 for exhibition in Korea in my survey.
I hope that the Japanese Government builds the world heritage B29 museum. Also, requesting it to the benevolent person I would like you to purchase 1 B29. I think that it is good that I display the B29 in the former site of the leisure land or aviation museum or Aichi world fair of Japan. I might think that if that disgusting B29 is what now. Stops there being the person who thinks the 21st century like that. If it is now it is limit and good enough.
Japanese will disappear sincerely even the Pacific War with B29, soon if it does not do it like that. I am hoping the 21st century without a war. How are you thinking all of you who visited this museum? How are you thinking all of you who visited this museum?
This museum edited it in reference to the following B29 relation HomePage and B29 relation documents. Furthermore please see the one who wants to know the information of B29 relation these.
