Great video. The crew truly had to function as a team to fly this powerful bird. It looks complicated, but this training film makes the proper procedures clear.

the air force did not have line mechanics at that time?

@SouthSideScene15 Yes. Boeing essentially took the most powerful engine they could get and wrapped it in a very tight cowling for low wind resistance. But this meant that the rear cylinder heads got inadequate airflow. Another problem was that the engine was made lighter by building the crankcase from a magnesium alloy, which burns fiercely once ignited. Lifting a fully loaded bomber from the tropical Marianas was always a race to climb to cooler air before the engines lit up.

Is it true that the b 29 engines caught fire easily?

Very well-constructed and easy-to-understand training film. It also makes a good propaganda of America's industrial power. Thanks for the nice upload!

It never ceases to amaze me just how much modern technology was already available in WW2 machines. And the gear down window? Genious! Latest planes need a ground-based observer to confirm status when there's suspicion.

My uncle piloted a B-29 in 15 missions over Korea. The video was a fascinating look at his world (and the crew's) - during those years. I have gained a greater understanding...and am awed. Thank you for posting!

@peter16030 The putt-putt is basically a golf-car engine/lawn mower engine in the back, the modern name is APU.
