B29

[Torch]

Been a way cool day, B29 flew a couple times over the house, what an awesome sight and sound. Have my camera ready this time just in case.

I had thought that the B-29s had the turbo-compound R-3350s, but they didn't have them yet in WW2. They used two of the B-17 style turbochargers. I believe the turbo-compound engines would have a different exhaust note.

After WWII it got the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 and became the B-50.
