I read and watched the videos you posted awhile ago.
I was all thru FIFI a few years ago, made me cry. It was near sixty years ago, that I volunteered to be a crew member on one of those. When you are young and STUPID you do stupid things.
I could not pass the physical for pilot training so they offered me a chance to go along anyway, never figured that out. Flying B-29s was always at the least, an adventure and most times terrifying death cheaters, there was no such thing as "routine flight".
So, you DID always know the exact location of the on-board fire extinguishers at all times during every flight and you DID have a planned hasty exit out the nearest escape hatch?? ;-)

You well know the answer to that one.
I actually lost more friends to accidents and crashes than were shot down over Korea.
The day I volunteered for Combat Crew training was a bad day. As I was walking in to sign in, everyone came running out, so I joined them, and watched a B-29 on fire during a touch and go. She blew in one hell of a ball of fire, that was my first hint that I was indeed stupid.
