Title: 24th BS B-29 Snooky
Post by: Greebo on June 01, 2012, 04:13:26 PM

The AH player Ten60 asked me to skin this B-29 as his grandfather Sgt W. P. Ford was part of its crew. Snooky was the first B-29 to land on Tinian and is shown here with early style tail markings. Six of Snooky's crew including the pilot Capt Clark A. Preston died when a replacement B-29 they were flying crashed into the sea, Sgt Ford was one of the survivors. There are photos and a brief history of this aircraft here (http://philcrowther.com/6thBG/6bgplane14A.html).
