41895 w/o 9 Mar 1945 takeoff accident in India (location?) 3PCS-311PMW
41986 assigned to NACA Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory, Lewis Field, Cleveland, OH Nov 1945.
NACA’s B-24M became one of the laboratory’s most frequently used aircraft. Mechanics repeatedly
modified the B-24M to study different icing phenomena on components such as windshields,
antenna, propellers, and engines. Each component had individual thermal ice protection devices
which allowed researchers to determine the effect of ice on specific areas. Over the next
nine years researchers studied almost all components, including wings, tail, engine cowls, nose,
propellers, and antennas in icing conditions.
The B-24M was also used to study ice buildup on jet engines. A General Electric I?16 engine
was installed in the aircraft’s waist compartment. An air scoop on the top of the aircraft
ducted cold external air to the engine inside. Water spray nozzles inside the aircraft simulated
icing conditions at the turbojet’s inlet. Later a Westinghouse 24C turbojet was installed
under the B?24M’s right wing to study its performance as the crew flew the aircraft into
hazardous icing conditions.

44052 Accepted by the USAAF in August 1944, but it was transferred to the RAF in
October 1944 as Liberator GR.VI s/n KH191. The plane flew many combat missions
in the Pacific Theater of Operations until late 1945 when it was abandoned
in Khanpur, India. In 1948 the Indian Air Force took over the plane with
s/n T-18 and operated it until 1968. Then it ended up being given to the
Indian Air Force Technical College in Jalahali, most likely to be used for
mechanic training. In 1981 the plane was acquired by Doug Arnold/Warbirds
of Great Britain and on May 6, 1982 he had it airfreighted disassembled
by a Belfast transport plane to Blackbushe Airport, England. While stored there
it was purchased in 1984 by Doctor Robert F. Collings and he had it transported
by ship to the USA, and in the following year began restoration. In June 1989
the plane was registered to the Collings Foundation as N224J, and the plane
made its first post-restoration flight in September that year. It flew
as “All American” with a map of the USA on both sides of the nose until 1995
when the starboard side said “Golden Girl” with a Schlitz beer pin-up.
By 2003 the “Golden Girl” was replaced by “The Dragon and His Tail” commemorating
a B-24 from WWII. In 2005 it was completely repainted as “Witchcraft,”
honoring B-24 42-52534 from WWII which flew 130 combat missions.

44272 (MSN 1567) Taken on strength in 1944, in ca.October it was transferred via Lend-Lease
to the RAF as Liberator B.VI s/n KH401. It was operated by 357 Squadron in
clandestine operations in the China-Burma-India theater. In April 1945 it was
transferred to 232 Squadron and used for transport duties. The RAF struck off
the plane from service on September 26, 1946, and soon the plane was taken on
strength by the Indian Air Force with s/n HE771 and operated by Number 6 Training
Squadron. They finally retired the plane on December 31, 1968. In 1973 it
was purchased by warbird enthusiast, and WWII AAF veteran David Tallichet
(“Yesterday’s Air Force”) and registered N94459. It was then ferried from
India to England, where it remained until August 27 1975 when it was flown to the USA.
In 1977 it was used in the movie “Young Joe, The Forgotten Kennedy.”
In June 1980 the plane was transferred to the Military Aircraft Restoration Corp.
of Chino, CA (Tallichet’s organization), and they loaned it to the 15th AF Museum at March AFB,
CA from 1981 to 1985. The plane was finally restored to flying in
September 1986. From 1987 to 1988 the plane was loaned to the Liberal Air Museum
in Liberal, KS. In October 1994 it was purchased by Kermit Weeks for his
Fantasy of Flight collection at Polk City FL, where it remains today awaiting restoration to
flying condition again. Painted as 250551.

6/25/01: Crashed near Greenwood, MS airport during ferry flight from Tullahoma, TN to Harlingen, TX
while approaching Greenwood to refuel. Left engine backfired, ran roughly, and the cockpit
filled with thick smoke. With reduced cockpit visibility, and a need to get the aircraft on
the ground as soon as possible, the pilot chose a cotton field for a forced landing. Postcrash
examination of the left engine revealed the supercharger sustained an internal compressor
wheel failure that shot compressor blade pieces through the supercharger housing and the
fuel feed line. High pressure 100 octane fuel spewed inside the left engine nacelle,
ignited, and caused the in-flight fire. (NTSB)

44-61508/61509 Douglas YB-43
Pure jet development of XB-42
61508 was static test airframe for XB-42 and modified as prototype XB-43. First fligght May 17, 1946.
Damaged Feb 1, 1951 and retired from flying. Was used for target practice in the desert.
61509 First flight May 15, 1947, taking place at Muroc AFB, CA. Apr 1948: Taken on strength with USAF.
Like the XB-43, it was powered by two GE J35 jet engines, but this plane was used in an
extensive engine testing program with one engine being changed to a J47. When the clear
plastic nose began to crack from variations in temperature at high and low altitudes,
mechanics fashioned a more durable replacement made from plywood, and that nose is still
on the plane. The plane was kept flying in the test program until late 1953 by
cannibalizing the XB-43, which had been damaged in an accident on Feb 1, 1951.
It was struck off strength in December 1953. In 1954 it was sent to the Paul Garber
Restoration Facility of the National Air Museum in Silver Hill, MD. In 2010 it was
transported to the National Museum of the USAF where it remains stored at the restoration facility

this plane carried the name “Flagship 500”. It was repainted with the “Flagship 500” markings in 2003.
Shortly after, it was learned that this plane has a WWII service record, and the name was “Three Feathers III”.
The name was changed one more time! [The aircraft was painted as ‘Mission Inn’ to commemorate a local
watering hole for March AFB. The original ‘Mission Inn’ aircraft was 44-27263]
Used by 22nd BW in Korea, named "Mission Inn". Reported 1975 in storage at NAS China Lake, CA.

Assigned to Combat Crew Training Squadron, 236th Army Air Force Base Unit, Pyote AAF, TX
W/o Jul 15, 1945 in crash 180 mi NW of St Paul, Minnesota. Crew bailed out OK. The aircraft with 11
crew members had departed for a 3,000 mile practice flight from ‘Rattler’ Army Air Field in Pyote, Texas
to Duluth, Minnesota to Wolf Point, Montana then returning back to Pyote, Texas. Around midnight
gas fumes were detected. As the fumes saturated the plane, all of the crew was affected. The
Air Commander, fearing an explosion, ordered the men to adjust oxygen masks and prepare for bail out.
After making sure that all the crew had left the plane, the commander set the autopilot on 9,000
feet and directed it toward Wolf Point, Montana. He then bailed out. The crew were strewn out
in a 15-30 mile range; they were all picked up within 18 hours.
The Army search for the plane was abandoned on July 18. No one knows what happened to it. There
was plenty of fuel on board. It may have hit a mountain in the Rockies or went all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Missing over Sea of Japan Jun 13, 1952. 12 crew MIA. Rumors that the plane had been shot
down by Soviet fighters and that the crew had been captured. The official records state that the aircraft
was on a classified surveillance mission of shipping activity over the Sea of Japan. The plane was followed
by radar over the course of the flight until 1320 hours at which time the radar contact was lost.
The aircraft failed to return to Yokota Air Base and although several attempts were made to establish
radio contact, no communications from the crew were received.
On June 14 1952, during the search, an empty six-man life raft was sighted, right side up, at a point
about 100 miles off the Russian coast, but search planes were unable to salvage the raft due to
prevailing conditions. The search continued until June 17, 1952 but no wreckage was found and no
survivors were sighted.
Documents released by the Russians to the Department of State included a copy of a June 13, 1952 top
secret memo to Joseph Stalin reporting that an American B-29 bomber was shot down in flames at 5:35 PM,
18 miles from the Russian shoreline.

Japan Nov 9, 1950. The aircraft had been taking reconnaissance photos over the Yalu River at the
China/Korean border. The plane was attacked by Russian MiG-15s and was severely damaged.
Two of the engines on the left side had been shot up and were no longer operating. The crew
managed to creep home to Johnson AFB. Upon their final approach for a crash landing the nose
of the aircraft suddenly dove into the ground. Upon crashing, the plane split in half and the
wings crashed over the front section killing all but one occupant of the cockpit. Interestingly,
the lone survivor from the cockpit was Harry Lavene who had been the tail gunner. While being
attacked, military records show that he was the first enlisted man to shoot down a MiG-15 from a B-29.

Assigned to 325th Bomb Squadron, 92nd Bomb Group, Spokane AFB, WA. Named ‘Hoxie’s Hoax’
Bombs prematurely exploded at Oki-Gunto, and crashed
near Dogo Island, Japan Jul 13, 1950. Six crew members of this aircraft were fatalities as
the result of an explosion onboard at Oki-Gunto and crashed near Dogo Island, Japan. The aircraft
was lead aircraft in the attacking squadron. At some point over the Japan Sea (on the way to the
bombing run) the aircraft lost an engine, dropped out of the formation and began a return to its base.
In order to maintain altitude, the bomb load was salvoed over the sea. One 500 lb bomb hung up in the racks.
While attempting to release the bomb, it detonated either within the bomb bay or immediately beneath the
belly of the plane. The five who survived salvaged a raft (no one knows how it got out of the plane,
since it required a human effort to do so) and spent 36-48 hours at sea before a Japanese fishing
vessel picked them up near Dojo Island.

On July 1st 1946, B29 Superfortress "Dave's Dream" [44-27354], accompanied by "Over Exposed", took off
from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands to take part in Operation Crossroads - the Atomic Bomb tests
at Bikini Atoll. The B29 was to drop an atomic bomb which was to explode over Bikini Atoll Lagoon and
it was the job of "Over Exposed" and its 25 cameras to photograph 'Dave's Dream' and the bomb leaving
the aircraft. It then dived 1000ft and was seven miles away when the bomb exploded. On July 25th "Over Exposed"
was used to photograph the results of an underwater bomb test and at the end of the tests was sent back
to Wright field, with the other 7 F-13s involved, where the extra cameras were removed and then sent
to Roswell Field for contamination checks. They then returned to their squadrons.

Converted to ETB-29A for Project Tip Tow, with experimental wing tip
hookups with two EF-84Ds (48-641 and 48-661). Two of the aircraft were
destroyed in crash April 24, 1953. A coupling and fully-towed flight was
accomplished using the right-handed EF-84B, but no electrical
power was received from the B-29. The right hand fighter uncoupled
and the left hand fighter coupled with the B-29 and was retracted
in the fully-locked towing position. The cockpit panel light
indicated that electrical power was available from the B-29, and
as soon as everything was trimmed and stabilized and the automatic
flight control system was activated momentarily from the fighter.
This resulted in a violent pitching motion of the EF-84B causing
it to flip up and inward into the B-29. The B-29 outer wing
panel crumpled and struck the main B-29 wing spar, shearing
off the F-84 nose section before the two aircraft separated.
B-29 went into steep spiral and crashed into Peconic Bay,
Long Island and the F-84 crashed shortly thereafter. All
crew members killed. The left hand fighter was 48-641. The other
fighter, having unhooked, presumably landed safely. Project Tip Tow was immediately cancelled.

Assigned to 4000th Army Air Force Base Unit, Wright AAF, OH
Surveyed at Wright AAF, OH 22Jul46. Ca 1951 transfered o the 19th Bombardment Group at
Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, and flew combat missions over Korea.
Nose and fuselage on display as a walk-through exhibit at Wright Patterson AFB Museum, OH, marked
as 44-87657 "Command Decision". "Command Decision" was probably inspired by the stage play and 1948
movie of the same name. The cast of the film reads like a "who's who" of Hollywood actors at the time.
The lead character, played admirably by Clark Gable, was rumored to have been based on the 98BG's
Colonel "Killer" Kane. The most knowledgeable of the Seven Dwarfs (from Disney's Snow White & the
Seven Dwarfs), Doc, is making his "command decision" based on Dopey's flip of a coin.
Although the depicted scene is satirical, Command Decision is certainly the best known B-29 of the
Korean War. It is the only bomber ace and last B-29 bomber retired from the USAF. Officially
credited with shooting down five MiG-15s. Command Decision's nose art is on display at the Air Force
Museum, but what you see is not the original art or airplane. After the original was destroyed in
a multiple transportation accident, the forward section of #44-62139 was requisitioned and
painted for the display. It's ironic that an aircraft that survived heavy flak and multiple MiG attacks
was damaged after being dropped from a helicopter, and while being transported from the AF Museum,
on loan to another museum, rolled off of a flatbed truck, was destroyed, and had to be replaced.

Named ‘Stardust Four Zero’. Assigned to 581st Air Resupply and Communications Wing, Kadena AB, Okinawa
(91st SRS) shot down by MiGs during leaflet dropping mission Jan 13, 1953. One of the most sensational
missions of the 581st in Korea occurred on 12 January 1953, when a 581st ARC B-29 (tail number 44-62217)
on its first leaflet drop mission with the 581st ARC Wing Commander, (as well as the operations commander
of the 91st Strategic Reconnaissance Wing) on board, was shot down on their last leaflet target just
south of the Yalu River in far northern Korea near the Chinese town of Antung.
At the time, Russian fighter squadrons, some equipped for night flying, were supporting and supplying
the Chinese with airpower, including the Russian-made MiG-15 Fagot. Twelve Russian MiG-15s from the 351st
(and perhaps the 535th) Fighter Air Regiments (IAP) intercepted a lone Superfortress of the 581st ARCW
south of the Yalu River, about 15 miles from the Chinese border.
The MiGs were scrambled and vectored to the bomber's location by Russian radar-controlled searchlight
units stationed near Antung, China. The searchlights illuminated the unarmed Superfortress and several
MiGs engaged the bomber. Russian MiG pilot of the 351st IAP was credited with the intercept and downing
of the B-29. Although US sources believe the B-29 was flying in North Korean airspace at the time of its
mayday call, a belief that is strongly disputed by the Chinese and Russian authorities, crew members who
bailed and landed believe they were in North Korean territory. Upon capture, the crew was rounded up,
blindfolded and put aboard trucks, subsequently transported into China and later charged as CIA
spies (the Chinese subsequently learned of the CIA connection with the ARCW units).
During the highly publicized Chinese trial in Peking in October 1954, the surviving crew members,
along with captured CIA agents, who were imprisoned two years earlier after they had been shot down
while attempting to pick up their Chinese double agent, were given prison sentences ranging from 5 years to life.
Not until 4 August 1955, two years after the Korean War Armistice, were the surviving crew members released
from Chinese prison. These crew members held the distinction of being the longest held POW USAF captives of
the war.

Assigned to 3510th Maintenance and Supply Squadron, 3510th Maintenance and Supply Group (ATC), Randolph AFB, TX
The aircraft was assigned to Project Banshee, the use of unmanned B-29 aircraft to remotely drop atomic weapons
On 12 March 1952, two B-29 aircraft, 44-87774 and 44-62223, both assigned to Randolph Air Force Base, Texas,
were involved in a mid-air collision approximately 19 miles north of Randolph Air Force Base. Results of the
collision were such that the tail section of the rammed aircraft, No. 44-62223, separated from the fuselage,
rendering this aircraft uncontrollable.
Aircraft No. 44-62223 was seen to be flying in a near westerly direction, at an estimated altitude of
3000 to 4000 feet, when aircraft No. 44-87774 approached from the left rear, on a heading estimated
to be 20 to 30 degrees greater than the first aircraft. The aircraft approaching B-29 No. 44-62223
appeared to pass completely underneath the rammed aircraft, then continued on course with no apparent
damage or difficulty. The rammed aircraft maintained course and altitude momentarily before dropping
off on the right wing, followed by a spin estimated to be one and one-fourth turns, leveling off
momentarily, then rolling onto its back. From this inverted position the aircraft was observed to go
into a dive. The severed tail section of this aircraft floated to the ground with very little damage
on impact. Fragments of both aircraft were observed falling through the air immediately following the collision.
Both planes crashed and all personnel were killed in this mid-air collision. This aircraft had a crew of eight.

4/12/1951 (371st BS/307th BG) part of a three-wing formation aimed at destroying railway bridges
across the Yalu River at Sinuiju and Antung. This was a dangerous daylight mission
that was so disastrous for the Air Force that over the following days the planes were
painted black on the bottom and scheduled for safer nighttime raids.
The aircraft was acting as the electronics countermeasure aircraft on this bombing
mission. Its job was to confuse enemy ground radar using electronic jamming
equipment combined with the dropping of aluminum foil strips called chaff. It was in the
slot (last) position of the 2nd group (of 3 groups) which put it in the middle of the 3
groups. There was some space between each group.
The aircraft had some engine trouble (from age) causing it to slow down, so rather than
force its own group to slow down it dropped from the last spot of the 2nd group back to
become the lead plane of the next group (the 22nd Bomb Squadron). It was during this
brief unfortunate window that the Russian piloted MiG-15's attacked, finding a lone B-
29 all by itself between two groups.erupted forcing seven crew members to bail
out and becoming POWs. The remaining crew managed to extinguish the fire and
nursed the aircraft back to Suwon AB, Korea. Badly damaged, the crew did not
attempt to land but bailed out, leaving the aircraft to crash into a hill near Suwon, 10 miles S of Seoul

western defences. On the way home No. 3 engine developed problems with the constant speed propeller
which eventually ran away and sheared off, severely damaging No. 4 engine. Three of the crew bailed out
but the pilot managed to nurse the crippled aircraft as far as Amiens in Northern France where he
successfully crash landed on a disused wartime airfield.

Modified at Boeing Wichita in 1945 to carry the US produced T-12 bomb (redesigned Grand Slam)
Flight testing continued through 1946. Fuselage center section between the bomb bays was removed,
making a cutout in forward and rear bomb bay doors to fit the bomb. Testing followed at Muroc AAFB. Six
inert casing drops at altitude of 25,000 feet were made from Mar 5, 1948. Just before noon on 5 March 1948,
the bomb was released from B-29 44-62263. The Group historian recorded the event in these words,
“On this date the heaviest bomb the world has ever known, weighing 43,755-lbs was dropped from a B-29
aircraft from an altitude of 25,000 feet. The entire mission was highly successful and the bombing
results were excellent.” By 19 April 1948 the personnel of Squadron C and B-29 44-62263 were veterans,
having dropped six of the extra-super blockbusters. Their part in the operation was completed.

Assigned to 31st Bomb Squadron, 301st Bomb Wing, Smoky Hill AFB, KS
Crashed below Beinn Tharsuinn about 2.5 mi W of Lochgoilhead near Glasgow, Scotland Jan 17, 1949.
20 on board killed. On the morning of January 17, 1949, the aircraft took off from RAF Scampton in
Lincolnshire, England, on a return trip to Smoky Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Salinas, Kansas, with
twenty passengers and crew on board, accompanied by a similar aircraft. The crew were reported to be
on leave, having previously been involved in the Berlin Airlift, dropping supplies into the city
which had been blockaded by Soviet forces.
The planned route was overland via Scotland, then on to Keflavik, Iceland, where they would stop to
refuel and take on supplies. The weather was variable, and as the two aircraft reached Strathclyde,
falling temperatures and cloud began to cause icing of their wings and control surfaces. The pilot
of the second B-29 decided conditions had become too severe to continue, and turned back for Scampton.
Unfortunately, there is no record of the circumstances surrounding the first aircraft. The B-29 crashed
into the side of Stob na Boine Druim-fhinn, a hill in Succoth Glen, near Lochgoilhead, Argyll, spreading
wreckage in the valley between Stob na Boine and Beinn Tharsuinn. All twenty passengers and crew
perished, with the aircraft being consumed by the resultant fire.

On 19 October 1950 the aircraft took off for a combat mission against North Korea. Shortly after
takeoff some sort of trouble developed in the number one engine which caught fire. This required
that they salvo the bombs to lighten the aircraft, which action would have enabled it to return to the base.
Although the bombs were dropped in a safe condition, some of them exploded on impact with the sea.
Fragments of the bombs severely damaged the airplane to the extent that it was necessary to ditch in
the sea about five miles from the end of the runway. Eight crew died, three survived.

Crashed 30Jul61. Constellations had been conducting night flights to El Trompillo Airport, Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Locals believed that these transported goods to Buenos Aires, Argentina and Arica, Chile, among other destinations,
from the United States, such as cigarettes, textiles, whiskey, socks, television sets and contraband items.
On Saturday, 29 July 1961, aircraft N2520B landed at El Trompillo Airport, and rested there until 30 July, when it took off
southward. The plane's occupants had not filed a flight plan; instead they said they were carrying a practice-only flight.
Immediately after take-off, Trompillo control tower alerted the Fuerza Aérea Boliviana, which sent P-51 Mustang fighters
to chase it. The P-51 pilots and the control tower asked the plane's crew to fly to Cochabamba, but the crew
ignored the request. The P-51s then proceeded to shoot at the airplane, making the aircraft's crew attempt
an emergency landing at El Trompillo Airport. As the plane descended, the crew dived in a final try at getting
the P-51's to desist in their chase, causing one pilot to crash to his death. The Constellation itself landed
safely at El Trompillo, and the crew members were arrested.

MustangsMustangs reports this ID Problem: 44-84634 is not a Swedish Air Force P-51, yet GN96 came from
Sweden. 44-63634 is Swedish AF Fv26121, to Nicaragua and reported as GN93. GN93 is reported to be 44-72331,
but Fv26121 is not known by any other GN#. MM says reasonable to assume GN96 is 44-63634 and not -84634.
BUT, Goodall lists -63634 as definitely GN93.
Goodall says it is possible the IDs were swapped during recovery from Nicaragua.

(29th BG, 52nd BS) collided in midair with B-29 42-65373 on mission to Shizuoka, Japan Jun 20, 1945 and
crashed near the Abe River, about 150 miles south of Tokyo. A11 12 crew
killed. A Japanese citizen Mr. Ito found two surviving crewmen and tried to help them.
These two men died of their injuries so Mr. Ito buried the two flyers at a Shinto Shrine at the base
of Mt. Sengen and gave them a Shinto burial. This act took great courage because it was violating
the military law; all enemies, dead or alive were to be turned over to the authorities. For this act,
Mr. Ito was labeled a traitor and forced to live in disgrace until the war's end. Following the war,
Ito built a monument to the Japanese citizens killed in that raid and wanted to erect one for the
airmen who lost their lives. He needed to inscribe their names, and according to his religion,
the matter had to be resolved within thirty (30) years. The efforts to get the names began a warm
and strong relationship between the Japanese and the Americans that still continues today
