Posing as 'Joltin Josie, The Pacific Pioneer' of the 873rd Bomb Sqn, 498th Bomb Group (T) with accompanying port side nose art and mission marks - that I unfortunately do not have a decent photo of. Tragically, 42-24614 caught fire and crashed on take-off in the Northern Marianas on 1 April 1945, killing everyone on board. This airframe's true ID is in tiny print under the stabilo: RB/WB-29A 44-62220. Delivered to the USAAF in September 1945 and after active weather recce duty to the US Army as a static training target, 1960-1985, then to the USAF Museum in 1998.
