B-29 超级空中堡垒现身小城

结庐在人境,而无车马喧,有暇思往事,运笔记轻闲,读客莫深究,细思皆惘然,雪泥留此地,鸿飞海蓝天

夏天周末,和儿子在树林中骑车,树木参天,溪水荡漾,清风拂面,好不遐意。忽然间,天上引擎轰鸣,抬头看去,树顶上的天窗一架巨型飞机低空掠过,好不吓人。第一个念头是,不好,飞机出问题了。小城虽有个小机场,但没有大飞机起降,这么大飞机不会来。但隐约觉的,刚看到的飞机不像是现代的商用飞机。拿出手机,搜索一下,万能的网立刻给出了答案。原来周末小城机场有个老式军用飞机展示,包扩现仅存可飞行的二战时美国空军的 B- 29 战略轰炸机。

和儿子一商量,绝不能错过良机,马上直奔机场。

刚到机场,就见到这架 B-29 从天徐徐而降。

机头上 Fi Fi 两字异常显眼。飞机停稳后,机仓内的乘客从小梯子上下来。乘客多为老人和小孩。问了一下,机场人员告知,老兵免费,小孩优惠,但都要提前预定。

B-29 是二战时美军轰炸机的主力,又称空中堡垒。最著名的就是在日本投下了两颗原子弹。但鲜有人知的是,中国在抗战后期,专门在成都为 B-29 修建了机场,有上百架 B-29 常住成都,对日军在大陆及南亚的军事目标进行轰炸。目标包扩日本本土。

由于航程限制,远程轰炸日本本土有时会把机顶,侧面的机枪卸掉。

B-29 是波音公司1938 年开始设计。雏形机 XB -29 在1940得到国防部认可。1943年底开始交货。第一次采用加压舱,模拟计算机.

从机头看去,很多控制是液压机械控制。机内很多阀门控制是通过钢缆。B -29 于五十年代初期退役。

现存两架可飞行的 B -29 Fi Fi 和 Doc 。到小城来的是 Fi Fi。七十多年过去了,Fi Fi 还能展翅高飞,真是一个奇迹了。
