- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft that played a pivotal role in World War II. One of the most notable missions involving the B-29 was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which led to the end of the war. The Bockscar was the B-29 bomber that dropped the "Fatman" atomic bomb on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The mission resulted in the destruction of the city and the loss of an estimated 35,000 lives.
- The Bockscar, along with the Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, remain two of the most recognizable aircraft in history. They symbolize the destructive power of nuclear weapons and the immense toll of war. The B-29 also saw action in other conflicts, such as the Korean War.
- The Bockscar and "Fatman" set are a tribute to the men and women who served during World War II and helped to bring the war to a close. The models are intricately detailed and accurately represent the historic aircraft, making them a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff.
