FOOTAGE: B-29 Gets Intercepted By Japanese Fighters

Air Warriors

This video features a fleet of US B-29s reaching their target, Kobe, a city on Osaka Bay, central Japan during the last days of the war.

However, just before they could drop their payload, a squadron of Japanese fighters intercepted them, ready to take on a fight.

B-29s are indeed beautiful birds! The sheer size of these warbirds has always been a sight to behold. Watching them from these videos remind us of how important these planes were in winning the war.

Just imagine being on the other side of this conflict and seeing these behemoths fly above you!
