800 X 600, about 16 seconds long.  Compressed using the Xvid open-source codec.
(It had to be rather heavily compressed to fit here; sorry.)

I posted some notes (and a still image) over at p.b.images ("Limping Back
Home"); please post any comments there. Thanks!

I hope you enjoy it!

Ken

Looks like they bailed out already; I can't make out anyone sitting in 
the pilots' seats...

Hmm, I wonder...

Early B-29's had *notorious* engine problems. I read somewhere that part of the
inner engine was made of magnesium--and when that caught fire, it literally
burned right through the wing. Makes for a bad day...

Ah yes, you have guessed correctly.  ;-)

The cockpit has instrument panels, seats--but no crew.  Just didn't get around
to making any. (Actually, what I *want* to do is take a video of some friends
against a bluescreen or white background, dress 'em in ersatz bomber gear, and
composite them into the cockpit--with correctly-changing perspective. The *idea*
is worked out--now I just need to do it!)

IIRC Poser has the facility to change a models face using a pair of 
front and side photographs
