WWII Memorabilia

Were there ever any B-29's used in the European theater in WWII?

It seems the B-17 was used in Europe along with e B-24 and the B-25 and B-29 were primarily Pacific thearter bombers. What about the fighters too. It seems the F4U was specific to the Pacific and the
P-51 to Europe.

I'm fairly certain that the B29 only saw action in the Pacific theatre of operations. However, all other major American bomber types seem to have been used in both theatres of war.

As for the fighters, the F4U was a Navy and Marines type and therefore never really saw much if any action in Europe in the hands of the American Navy or Marine Corps. However, it did see action with the Royal Navy whose pilots were the first to actually crack landing these things on aircraft carriers.

The P51 was mostly used in Europe, although I believe it did see very limited action over Japan also. I'm not sure of the reason for this, but I suspect that it's superior handling and complexity made it less well suited to the often basic conditions found in the Pacific. Also the other American fighter types were not such a good match for the German fighters.
