However, in this short amount of time, you could argue it had a greater impact on the pacific theater than any other weapon. Without the capabilities of the B-29 Supperfortress there is no doubt the war in the pacific would have carried on for years past its actual end date, and would have resulted in the loss of countless more American lives. The effect of the Superfortress were not just felt during World War II but were felt in every war thereafter, either directly or indirectly. If there ever was necessity, and invention thereof, the B-29 was it.…

    While originally formulated in 1847, it wouldn’t be until 1895 that German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin would register his patent on the rigid, hydrogen cell powered aircraft, and until 1900 when the LZ1, the first working prototype, would take flight over Lake Constance. While it was damaged during its first landing, it would be repaired and fly for another 8 years, when it finally caught fire after crashing into a tree, leaving no one seriously injured. Used for both transport and for spotting submarines, it wouldn’t be until the Hindenburg catastrophe of 1937, where 35 of 97 people on board would die. The blimps would entirely be destroyed in 1940, but would influence global media, including English rock band ‘Led Zeppelin,’ and Japanese animator Miyazaki.…
