I keep thinking, that even with a simiar expenditure of time talent and treasure applied to refubishing my frame and parts, I wouldn't look or operate nearly as good. Great job by a great crew. Hope to see it in the flesh someday.
Fantastic!!!!! The B-29 saved my life. If it had not been assigned to drop the Atom bomb on Japan then I would not be sitting here.
Who were you with?
this was the year 1942 when my mother and I along with my brother and sister were taken away in a Japanese truck convoy and put in the Japanese concecration camp on JAVA, INDONESIA. I am the oldest in my family. My Dad was caught on BORNEO and we did not hear from him for 6 years. We were rescued 4 years later by the Allied troops. Because the Atom Bomb was dropped on Japan resulting the surrender of JAPAN and kept us alive. JAPAN
wanted to conquer the World. I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran and believe it or not was stationed in Japan in the beginning stages of the Vietnam War. I have been in the B-29 and it is a fantastic aircraft. My Dad was stationed in INDONESIA for 22 years with the ARMY and worked closely with the C.I.A.. My son is with the AIR COMBAT WING in the Pentagon and his son (my grandson) is also in The Air Force. I remember World War II vividly and the conditions we suffered in the Japanese Camp.I am also a member with the AMERICAN LEGION and am on the COLOR GUARD . I carry the American flag at the ceremonies.I hope you did not fall asleep reading this lengthy answer. Peter Maas

Stayed awake waiting for more. Thanks for your family's service.
you are welcome. I have never bought a car with the Japanese name on it, even though some are being built in the U.S.A. I can hardly wait to find out how our Military is going to progress under the TRUMP'S administration. The Air Force needs 15000 pilots. Also the equipment needs to be updated. I believe in what the President said: "PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH".
B-29 Doc will make the following tour stops:
