This was supposed to be a tv show about comparing the aircraft themselves, not the bombs they could drop. I wanted to see more about the capabilites of the B29 versus other aircraft, and yet the program took the majority of its time talking about the atom bomb instead. That's like doing a show on the Spitfire and spending all your time talking about the guns it carried and almost no time on the engine or airframe.

@trav1971 Yes, an entirely new strategic concept at the time: a war could be won from the air. My dad was drafted when he was 32 y/o and served with the 58th Bomb Wing as a tali gunner on a B29 both in the CBI and on Tinian. He didn't talk about it much and died when I was 17 years old but I know he was proud of what they did. I remember he told me he saw the Enola Gay take off. We owe a lot to his generation ...

@TectonicPower The major vehicle of American War Crimes in the Pacific.

The Japanese had no chance in hell of developing let alone delivering an atomic bomb on any American target.

@Terry1969ism Well there's always the grand old North Korea dipshit. U can live there if u don't like it here, and no one has any glee in thier voice u must have a brain disorder u retard.

[Terry1969ism]

Americans are so fvcking trashy it's unreal... the glee in the narrator's voice is disgusting. Compare this with how Sir Laurence Olivier narrated the "World at War" documentary series - he showed respect, gravitas and humility in his voice, due to the sensitive nature of the subject.

Americans are fvcking violent kids, it's all " yee haw! We killed them bastards!"

@javed119 It has nothing to do with being "fortunate". Such a victim mentality. No one rolled out a red carpet for me, I had to work for all this. America is trillions in debt because it started adapting Europe's social welfare model, which becomes a huge monster once it gets implemented; as millions of people start to get a sense of entitlement. See: Greece...But there is still great opportunity here - IF YOU WORK HARD.

@DCussen not every one is fortunate like you are,that's why america's trillion's in debts.
