WHAT'S BEHIND A BOMB RUN IN KOREA

[[image]]
A Boeing B-29 Superfort drops a load of bombs in northern Korea. While over its target, the B-29 is exposed to attacking fighters. Remote control armament gives the B-29 high hit probability, strong defense. The G-E system on the B-29 is the "father" of the highly effective G-E system now being installed on the Convair B-36

Helping on the ground are "tech reps" from manufacturers who follow their companies' equipment all over the world. These men help to keep the planes in the air. Here, G-E and North American Aviation reps inspect G-E J47 jet in a North American F-86 Sabre.

Taking off from Okinawa, the bombers head for high altitude bombing are made possible by turbosuperchargers which give the B-29 extra power at altitude. Most modern piston-engined bombers, such as Boeing's B-50, Convair's B-36, and North American's AJ-1 use G-E turbos.

Sabrejets supply protection over northern Korea. Sabres fly MiG Alley patrols as well as bomber protection flights. Faster and less vulnerable than piston engine aircraft, the speedy North American fighters are powered by General Electric J47 jets. General Electric Co., Schenectady, N.Y.
