Um. I'm not seeing a 'copyright enfringement issue' here. I don't believe Boeing B-29s being depicted in an online game are protected by 'copyright laws' anymore than General Dynamics Ohio class submarines are(n't). (Or Electric Boat Company Gatos, for that matter).

Even if they are badly depicted (though I'm sure the community would rather they not be) ... I wouldn't expect any sort of lawsuit that would negatively impact Neal (or anyone else) when it comes to replacing Lancasters with Superfortresses. I highly doubt the game had to negotiate with Avro.
