WWII Era Temperature Instruments used in the

B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell, and B-29 Superfortress.

B-29 Superfortress

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber that saw action in World War II and the Korean War.  The name "Superfortress" was derived from that of its well-known predecessor, the B-17 Flying Fortress.

The B-29 was one of the largest airplanes to see service during World War II. A very advanced bomber in its day;  it included features such as a pressurized cabin, fire control system, and machine-gun turrets controlled by remote.

Though it was designed as a high-altitude daytime bomber, it actually flew more low-altitude nighttime incendiary bombing missions. It was the primary aircraft in the U.S. firebombing campaign against the Japanese in the final months of World War II.  The B-29 also carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

B-24 Liberator

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was a heavy bomber built by Consolidated Aircraft.  It was produced in greater numbers than any other American combat aircraft of World War II and still holds the record as the most produced U.S. military aircraft.  It was used by many Allied air forces and every U.S. branch of service during the war, attaining a distinguished war record with its operations in the northern European, Pacific and Mediterranean theaters.

Often compared to the better known B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 was a more modern design with a higher top speed and greater range yet it had a similar bomb load and defensive armament.  The B-24 was notorious among American air crews for its tendency to catch fire. The placement of the B-24's fuel tanks throughout the upper fuselage and its lightweight construction, designed both to increase range and optimize assembly line production, made the aircraft vulnerable to battle damage.

B-25 Mitchell

The North American B-25 Mitchell (NA-62) was an American twin-engined medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. It was used by many Allied air forces, in every theater of World War II, as well as many other air forces after the war ended, and saw service across four decades.

The B-25 was named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. The B-25 is the only American military aircraft named after a specific person. By the end of its production, nearly 10,000 B-25s in numerous models had been built. These included a few limited variations, such as the US Navy's and US Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber and the Army Air Forces' F-10 photo reconnaissance aircraft.
