It had two remote turrets and the same computing gunsight system as used on the B-29. And, after dropping its payload, it was almost as manuverable as a fighter! About 700 or so made it into WWII, mostly operated out of Italy. Versions of this plane remained in US combat duty until 1969 and some are still used to fight fires.
