The B29 design predates the Amerika bomber by a little bit.

From Wiki...

Quote:
Boeing submitted its Model 345 on 11 May 1940,[5] in competition with designs from Consolidated Aircraft (the Model 33, later to become the B-32),[6] Lockheed (the Lockheed XB-30),[7] and Douglas (the Douglas XB-31).[8] Douglas and Lockheed soon abandoned work on their projects, but Boeing received an order for two flying prototypes, given the designation XB-29, and an airframe for static testing on 24 August 1940, with the order being revised to add a third flying aircraft on 14 December. Consolidated continued to work on its Model 33 as it was seen by the Air Corps as a backup in case of problems with Boeing's design.[9] An initial production order for 14 service test aircraft and 250 production bombers was placed in May 1941,[10] this being increased to 500 aircraft in January 1942

Another surprise, I had no idea the B-29 was such an early concept.

It has been said that, at least for the USAAF, every plane they fought the war with was designed before our entry into the war. I'm sure there is an exception, but still, when you look at the Army single seaters they all were pre war (well, pre Dec. 7 1941) designs.
