B-29 Superfortress "Bockscar"  

It was crucial in compelling Japan to lay down her arms in World War II. The B-29 Superfortress "Bockscar" dropped “Fat Man”, the second atomic bomb used in war, on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945. She was named after her aircraft commander, Captain Frederick C. Bock, although it was Major Charles Sweeney, commander of another B-29 - "The Great Artiste" - who piloted "Bockscar" on her atomic bomb mission.  

The B-29 Superfortress, a four-engine heavy bomber propeller aircraft, was the single most complicated and expensive weapon produced by the United States during World War II. Almost 4,000 were built for combat including "Enola Gay" and "Bockscar". 

Built at Glen L. Martin Aircraft Factory in Nebraska, "Bockscar" was taken in by the US Army Air Force as one of 15 "special mission" B-29s in June,1945. The aircraft designated for the highly secret 509th Composite Group were outfitted with special engines and propellers and faster-acting pneumatic bomb bay doors. B-29s also represented the first successful large-scale use of pressurized crew compartments. The "Bockscar" also participated in several flight training and live bombing practice missions in the Marianas in June,1945.

Weaponry: 

• 12× .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns in remote controlled turrets
• 1× 20 mm M2 cannon in tail (removed shortly after put into service)
• 20,000 lb (9,000 kg) standard loadout, could be modified to externally carry two 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) T-14 'Earthquake' bombs

Now you can bring a unique "Bockscar" desktop model plane to your home or office! Remember those who gave their all through this meticulously hand-carved mahogany wood desktop model plane made by craftsmen with over 30 years of experience. Scaled from exact blueprints, drawings and photos of the real airplane, this piece of art was lavishly hand-painted with great concern for details and accuracy. A large-scale, heavily-detailed model of "Fat Man", the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, is included on the elegant wood base. A metal history plate completes this exquisite desktop model plane display.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine heavy bomber propeller aircraft flown by the United States Military in World War II and Korean War, and by other nations afterwards. The name "Superfortress" was derived from its well-known predecessor, the B-17 Flying Fortress. 

The B-29 was one of the largest aircraft to see service during World War II. It was one of the most advanced bombers of its time, featuring innovations such as a pressurized cabin, a central fire-control system, and remote-controlled machine gun turrets. It was designed as a high-altitude daytime bomber, but flew more low-altitude nighttime incendiary bombing missions. It was the primary aircraft in the U.S. firebombing campaign against Japan in the final months of World War II, and B-29s carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unlike many other bombers, the B-29 remained in service long after the war ended, a few being employed as flying television transmitters for Stratovision. The type was finally retired in the early 1960s, with 3,960 aircraft excluding the Tu-4, having been built between 1943 and 1946. 

The airframe was further developed into the B-50 for the USAF, and the Soviet Union developed a virtual carbon copy Tupolev Tu-4 which was reverse engineered from confiscated B-29 bombers.
