Both the B-17 and the B-29 were reportedly easy to fly, well balanced and easy to trim. Not true in the case of the B-24: you had to fight that one the entire trip.

I thought the B-29 had boosted controls though.

That was a wrong guess. As I posted earlier today, it's the B-29. And it's
significant because of the Enola Gay.

I spent two hours last week with a friend getting the VIP tour of Boeing's restored and airworthy B-17 and Seattle's Museum of Flight's B-29. I learned a
lot.
