Note that the B-24 and B-29 have almost identical Aspect Ratios, but
the B-29 has a significantly higher wing loading. In general, this
means that the B-29 will have more induced drag than the B-24. But it
also cruises much faster. This is due to the lower total drag of the
airplane due to the much more streamlined shape.

Be interesting to see how they both compared to the B-32.
