Japanese Pilots Were Shocked by America’s B 29 Superfortress Raids

When the B-29 Superfortress appeared over Japan, Japanese pilots were completely unprepared for what they faced. Flying higher, faster, and farther than any bomber they had encountered before, the B-29 shattered Japan’s air defense assumptions almost overnight.

Japanese fighters struggled to intercept the Superfortress. Many couldn’t climb fast enough, lacked high-altitude performance, or suffered engine failures trying to reach the bombers. Meanwhile, B-29 crews operated with pressurized cabins, advanced navigation, heavy defensive firepower, and devastating bomb loads.

This video explores:
