Title: B-29 The Boomerang
Post by: Dragon Tamer on May 04, 2014, 02:44:50 PM

This B-29 was part of the 21st BS 501st BG stationed at Northwest airfield Guam in 1945. It participated in "The B-29 raid that ended the war."

Several bomber wings were put on stand by with targets already assigned while negotiations with Japan were underway. On August 14, 1945 at 5 AM. the wings on stand by received orders to fly out and hit their targets (most were still hung over). The flight turned out to be the longest B-29 flight of the war, 17 hours round trip. The bomber was striped of all guns except for the tail gun to make room for additional bombs.

That's my computer having a stroke while I'm trying to get a shot that looks good. It does that when I turn the bump mapping up. This 8 year old hardware is starting to struggle.
