The Japanese called the B-29 the bee nee koo (phonetic spelling). I believe that's simply B Two Nine. In any event, I have been given to understand it's almost a term of affection, though perhaps awe would be a better word. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com
