How One Mechanic's Crazy Trick Made His B-29 Fly 22 Missions While Others Burned

#ww2 #ww2history #wwiidocumentary In early 1945, the B-29 Superfortress was the most advanced bomber in the world—and one of the deadliest to its own crews. Engines overheated, caught fire, and killed more airmen than enemy fighters. While bombers burned on takeoff or fell from the sky over Japan, one B-29 kept flying mission after mission. This is the true story of Master Sergeant William Owens, a crew chief on Tinian Island, and his bomber “Gravel Gertie.” When standard procedures failed and time ran out, Owens used a “crazy” unauthorized wire fix to hold cracked engine parts together—betting his career, and 11 lives, on a simple mechanic’s trick. The result? 22 missions flown while others burned. Zero aborts. Zero engine fires. This video reveals: Why the B-29’s engines were killing crews How one mechanic outperformed official engineering How small, risky decisions saved lives and kept bombers flying 👉 If you value real war stories, unsung heroes, and forgotten history please Like the video to help it reach more people, Share it so these stories aren’t lost, and Subscribe for more true stories from the edges of history. 💬 Comment below and tell us where you’re watching from—or if someone in your family served. #ww2 #ww2history #ww2rebuilder #wwii #wwiidocumentary #ww2military Thank you for watching and for helping keep these stories alive.
