B-29 Superfortress Stars and Stripes Unisex Pullover Hoodie
Powered by four Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone radial engines, the B-29 could reach speeds of up to 357 mph and had a maximum range of over 3,000 miles, making it ideal for operations across the vast Pacific theatre. It could carry up to 20,000 pounds of bombs and was armed with up to 12 .50 calibre machine guns and a 20mm cannon, most of which were mounted in remotely operated, computer-assisted turrets.
The B-29 gained lasting fame as the aircraft used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 6, 1945, the B-29 Enola Gay dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and three days later, Bockscar dropped the second on Nagasaki—actions that played a pivotal role in ending World War II. These remain the only two times nuclear weapons have been used in war.
Beyond its atomic legacy, the B-29 played a central role in the strategic bombing campaign over Japan, particularly from bases in the Mariana Islands. Massive firebombing raids devastated Japanese cities in 1945, including the notorious Tokyo raid on March 9–10, which caused more deaths than either atomic bombing.
A total of 3,970 B-29s were built, and the type continued in service after WWII, including during the Korean War, where it served in conventional bombing, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare roles before being phased out in favour of jet bombers like the B-47 and B-52.
Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony. This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.
