The plane was known as the B-29 Super fortress.
A B29 Superfortress was a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Boeing flown primarily by the United States near the end of World War II and during the Korean War. It was one of the largest aircraft to see service in World War II and an advanced bomber for its time, with features such as a pressurized cabin, electronic fire-control system, and remote-controlled machine-gun turrets.
The first Pacific B29 raid was in 1944 against the Bangkok rail yards. Staging was from bases in China.
While the B29 was expensive it cannot even compare to the real most expensive project of World War 2. The Manhattan Project was the most costly project to develop the atom bombs used in World Wa2. This project cost well over 2 Billion Dollars in the 1940s. That would be like a 20 Billion or so dollars today. So the atom bombs each cost slightly under a billion dollars a piece.
The Great War is a nick name, coined by the British, for World War One. As I'm sure you know, just about every major country in Europe was involved, together with Russia and Germany.
There really wasn't one at all... That I know of...
