This rare WWII footage offers a fascinating look inside B-29 flight training for USAAF crews. Getting the world's most advanced bomber operational required methodical instruction at all crew stations. See bombardiers train on the Norden bombsight, pilots practice complex checklists, gunners learn remote turret operation, and the crew mesh as a coordinated team. Their mastery of the Superfortress was integral to carrying out wide-ranging missions against Japan. The footage captures the enormity of successfully deploying new technology in wartime on a tight timeline. These crews' skills ultimately helped end the conflict. #WWIIAviation, #USAAF, #AircrewTraining, #Bombardier, #NordenBombsight, #Checklists, #CrewCoordination, #CockpitProcedures, #GunneryTraining, #CombatBox, #FormationFlying, #HighAltitudeFlight, #LongRangeMissions, #LeadCrews, #Wingmen, #PacificWar, #BoeingB29, #Superfortress, #StrategicBombing, #IncendiaryBombs, #Firebombing, #NuclearWeapons, #AtomicBombing, #Hiroshima, #Nagasaki, #JapanSurrenders, #WWIIEnds, #AirPower, #GameChanger, #WarWinningWeapon, #WW2BomberTraining, #Superfortress101, #LearningTheB-29, #KnowYourBird, #AircraftFamiliarization, #TechnicalTraining, #FlightOperations, #CombatCrewRoles, #SpecializedSkills, #IntegratedActions, #FlawlessProcedures, #Checklists, #StepByStep, #NoDetailTooSmall, #PrecisionCounts, #PracticeMakesPerfect, #DrillsDrillsDrills, #CombatReadiness, #QuestionReadiness, #TrainLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt, #ItDoes, #ReadyForTheRealThing, #DressRehearsal, #GraduationDay, #PreflightBriefing, #MissionPlan, #ExecuteThePlan, #FollowOrders, #Communicate, #CrossCheck, #UseAllResources, #CareForYourCrew #StrategicBomber, #LongRangeHeavy, #TransPacificRange, #ExtendedOperations, #FarFromBase, #OceanicDistances, #IslandHopping, #Tinian, #NorthField, #Guam, #HighAltitudeOperations, #PressurizedCrewAreas, #OxygenSystems, #QuickDonMasks, #BailoutBottles, #MaeWestVests, #DitchingAtSea, #LifeRafts, #LongitudeLatitude, #ETARadioFix, #CelestialNavigation, #Navigators, #Bombardiers, #RemoteTurrets, #ScanningTheSkies, #FlyingFortress, #CastleInTheSky #XXBomberCommand, #XXI BomberCommand, #58thBombWing, #73rdBombWing, #313thBombWing, #314thBombWing, #Gremlins, #Groundcrew, #APMechanics, #EngineRuns, #BombLoads, #Armourers, #Loadmasters, #CrewChiefs, #doubleVee, #VBomber, #WarWeary, #FactoryFresh, #HotShip #BetterThanTheRest, #ChosenRide, #RideOrDie, #MyBird, #TreatHerRight, #TipTopShape, #CombatReady, #StartEngines, #ThrottleUp, #FlyAWay, #GroupTakeoff, #JoinUp, #MaintainFormation, #CombatSpread, #Interval, #StationKeeping, #BattleFormation, #CombatBox, #FlyingFortress, #CloseFormation, #CrewIntegrity, #MoveAsOne #EyesPeeled #PacificAirWar, #islandHoppingCampaign, #LeapFrogTactics, #HitHardAndMoveOn, #ApproachFromTheEast, #EmpireSkies, #DefendingTheHomeIslands, #DivineWind, #KamikazeAttacks, #ASExpertise, #EvasiveManeuvers, #Corkscrewing, #ViolentG-Forces, #LostTheirNumber, #Breakaway, #DefensiveFire, #FlyingThroughFlak, #ShrapnelDamage, #BattleDamage #PressOnRegardless, #CompleteTheMission, #BombRun, #SteadyAsSheGoes, #OnTarget, #ReleaseOrdnance, #BombsAway, #TensOnTarget, #StrikePhotos, #BDA, #BombDamageAssessment, #RTB, #ReturnToBase, #MissionComplete, #DebriefAndRefresh, #ReviewLessons, #NeverStopImproving, #LiveToFightAgain, #LuckyToComeHome, #NotAllReturned, #FallenComrades, #FinishWhatTheyBegan #WW2NoseArt, #PinupGirls, #CartoonCharacters, #Superstitions, #AircraftNames, #Gremlins, #FuselageArt, #DecorateYourRide, #MoraleBooster, #DistinctiveMarks, #RallyingPoints, #SymbolsOfCourage, #Mascots, #Talismans, #LuckyCharms, #SentimentalKeepsakes, #PieceOfHome, #ConnectionToLovedOnes, #SweetheartGrips, #AircraftNecrology, #LostPlanes, #DeceasedCrew, #BattlefieldPromotions, #GrimWork, #FinalMissionTally, #TheLastOneFor#Name, #AvengingTheFallen, #ThisOnesForYou #ToughAsNails, #DieHard, #NoNonsense, #IntenseAndFocused, #CoolUnderFire, #SteelYourNerves, #BattleTested, #CombatHardened, #ThousandYardStare, #HauntedEyes, #HaggardLook, #GoingThroughTheMotions, #ForwardMomentum, #WhatChoice, #NowhereElseToTurn, #OnlyWayOutIsThrough, #MarchOrDie, #FightOrPerish, #LiveOnYourFeetOrDieOnYourKnees #WW2BomberOps, #HeavyBomber, #StrategicBombing, #PrecisionDaylightBombing, #HighAltitude Bombing, #PressurizedCrewAreas, #BomberFormations, #CombatBoxes, #JapanMainland, #JapaneseHomeIslands, #EmpireOfTheSun, #RisingSunFlag, #Tokyo, #Osaka, #Kobe, #EmperorHirohito, #FirebombingCampaign, #Firestorms, #IncendiaryAttacks, #BurningCityBlocks, #Conflagration, #FireTornadoes, #HorrorsOfWar, #BoeingAssemblyLines, #RosieTheRiveter, #WartimeProduction, #TotalWarFooting, #ArsenalOfDemocracy, #AmericanIndustrialMight, #ManufacturingPowerhouse, #EconomicJuggernaut, #AssemblyLineEfficiencies, #EconomiesOfScale, #JustInTimeDelivery, #WartimeLogistics, #MilitaryProcurement, #RampingUp, #24HourProduction, #ThreeShiftsADay, #WarBonds, #ScrapDrives, #ProductionTargets, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6R8sY2IwI
