the 1000th B-29 the Boeing built, in Wichita Kansas

above, shows the difference in size between a B 29 and the Boeing Kaydet... below, the size comparison between a B 29 and a B 17

Robert of RetroHound.com and ClassicDragsters.com posted these photos at http://www.retrohound.com/some-boeing-b-29-superfortresses-that-my-grandparents-helped-build/  because he came across them in a scrapbook or box and his grandparents were part of the crew that built the B-29s

Rosie was making them, Josie was delivering lead down range

some interesting and unusual stuff I found on Progress-is-fine.Blogspot.com

the unusual rims? called "high flotation wheels"

home made cannon... I think it's likely the larger diam breech area is made from a natural gas / acetylene tank

this is one exaggeratedly opulent advertisement!

the Chicago license plate... I've posted one before, it was a way to extort more money from the population so the local city government would get rich. It's unheard of now, but it wasn't always just state plates that were required to use roads

Not often you see a photo of a B29... maybe this one was too big for the runway and ditched? B-24 in the air I think

all just a sample of the cool stuff found on http://outsidethecubicle.tumblr.com

the cargo version of the B-29, the C-97

color film of a B-29 flight with P 51 escorts on a run to bomb Japan

thanks Mike!

Greg Jones takes astonishingly vivid and crisp HDR photos of cars and aircraft, from WW2 bombers to space shuttles, here is a sample

as the last image tells you, making just one image in HDR is the result of using multiple bracketed shots processed in Lightroom, Photomatix, Photoshop, Noiseware and Topaz Adjust in various proportions.
