Photo Comment

The B-47E was delivered to the USAF on 14 February 1955. Over its career it was assigned to the Strategic Air Command and based at Andersen Air Base on Guam and at March Air Force Base. The aircraft was retired from USAF service in 1962. It was retrieved from the China Lake Naval/ Air Weapons Station and brought to the museum in pieces in January 1988 and reassembled that year.
