Now available is a full-color large format scan of a old-fashioned cyanotype general arrangement blueprint of the B-29. Originally drawn in June of 1942, this drawing was printed off somewhere around 1951 (based on a dated notation regarding the declassification of the drawing). The blueprint is presented at 12590X5402 pixels… quite large! However, as big as this is, it’s half the size of the original. The original full-resolution scan will be made available at a later date, but for CD-ROM only… the full-rez image is a whopping 128 megabytes.
This release includes not only the large color blueprint, but also a cleaned grayscale version of the same and reduced-size versions of each for easier viewing and printing.
The B-29 blueprint can be downloaded for $7.00.
