B-29 Superfortress
WASHINGTON, bP>—Gen. Carl
Spaatz says Russia apparently has
suepeeded in duplicating the B-29
Superfortress, which at the end of
the war was the only aircraft in
service capable of dropping an
atom bomb.
Spaatz told the President’s air
policy committee the Soviet Union

“This leads us to believe that
Russia has built B-29’s,” he said
yesterday.
He added that the Russians did
not get the parts they asked for.
