Well, I can see your point. It was pressurised, the crew flew in shirt sleeves (as per Cheshire's book), etc etc. Heck of an advancement on bombers...
Mmm, eggs on toast...with Vegemite on the toast...mmm
Yep, was thinking that myself!
Some of my all time fave noseart in those links, Kyt. I was trying to remember my fave from Korea and found her. I've got the 1/48 B-29 at home...

Yep, B-29s provided some of the best "canvas" for noseart. There were some pretty talented artists doing the work too!
Today's airworthy Lizzies have some of the rarest airworthy engines in the world in the Bristol Mercury....
Just came across this older article on B-29 names. Only a couple of noseart pics but some great, amusing cartoons about the various crewmembers....
Good score, Morse. Everytime I think of Hap Arnold, this noseart springs to mind....
Sounds like a normal weekend... Thai is currently my fave as we have a bloody excellent one around the corner. Does masaman curry that is...
What? A desire to write really long stories about some bloke who goes to Troy and then gets lost coming back? ;-)
True, but I've still got half a mind to release Kitty upon them!
Magnificent videos, Kyt! Nothing like having a reporter do his research before the event though!
