Bill,
What I meant was I think it was the B-17 that they were trying to make into a remotely flown bomb so they could try to fly it from another plane into the Nazi sub Pens in France as the bombs they had wouldn't do more than dent the tops. Kennedy was supposed to fly it out over the channel and flip a switch and bail out and another plane with a crude joystick set up would try to fly it low and right inside the pens. But it blew up killing Kennedy and they still don't know why. The B-29 I knew had a lot of new improvements but I just wasn't sure enough to say it had a computer. I am not even sure it was a B-17 that they were trying to make into the remote flown bomb. Could have been one of the other older bombers.
