Showing the Remote Control Turret System (RCT) or Central Station Fire Control System, first used in the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. This system, which was developed by General Electric, was a very advanced weapon system for its day. Instead of the gunner being inside the turret, between the guns or at an open waist window in the 30 below zero wind, he was located inside the pressurized crew compartment.
This B-29A is on display at March Field Air Museum.
