All British B-29's are all post WORLD WAR II to the best of my knowledge.

I like the nose art of this 462ND bomb group.

The olive drab is awesome.  Also FU-KEMAL must be done lol.

Agreed on both points. FU-KEMAL was not just one aircraft I think the entire squadron wore that name not 100% sure on that. Some more O/D B-29's.

















Next two are the same aircraft.

A couple more OD B-29's.

[Krusty]

No guns on those. They weren't combat, just transport.

No guns on those. They weren't combat, just transport.

Only the last two lack guns.

All OD B-29's started with guns & those that ended up as transports were de-fanged. Now did those paint schemes come while they had guns or after? Don't know? It would be near impossible to find that out. I am lead to believe that there may have been only 50 to 100 OD B29's to begin with from what I have read.

[Krusty]

Considering the nose art is of the two characters climbing over mountains carrying gas cans, I'd say it was after they were in the transport mission hauling avgas over the mountains. (wild guess)

Karnak: Exactly. But if you look up higher, esso express and hobo queen also lack guns and are OD.

I'd like a little more info on this baby:



What are we looking at here? Are those engines and cowlings BMF, but the wings OD? The fuselage is clearly OD but with perhaps different shades (or metal?) rings around the base of the turrets and around the gunner windows.

What are we looking at here? Final paint? In-progress paint job? Assembly line quirk where engines from BMF met one of the last OD airframes?

Or possibly some very strange lighting/shadows affecting a paint job not fully "cured" thus making the engines and fuselage look different when the final product ends up being the same? (possible but I would doubt it).
