Bingo! You do keep on on world events afterall, eh? Now there's a nation that was given all sorts of money and technology to deter their nuclear proliferations efforts.... only to slap the rest of us in the face with it all.

The max height for a B29 bomber was 31800 feet, a Japanese Zero fighter could climb to 32800 feet. The Zero was flimsy and made out of rice paper and other lightweight stuff.
