What Japanese Engineers Found Inside a Captured B-29 That Made Them Give Up

For months, Japan could not stop the B-29. Fighters couldn't reach it. Flak burst thousands of feet below it. It flew over the home islands almost at will. So when one came down on Japanese soil, engineers were sent into the wreck to find its weakness. They found four things instead — a pressurized cabin, remote-controlled guns aimed by an analog computer, onboard radar that made cloud and darkness useless — and then the fourth thing, which wasn't a component at all. This is the story of the machine that proved, in aluminum, that the war was already decided. ✈️ The B-29 Superfortress · a program that cost more than the atomic bomb 🔧 What the wreck revealed · and why Japan could never build one 🎬 History told through the enemy's eyes Listen to War Chronicles Podcast : https://open.spotify.com/show/445kdkn...
