So happy to find this photo. My father was the Navigator on this plane. I have had a photo of him with the flight crew standing in front of this plane. The photo I have does not show the full nose, I didn't realize that was a B-29 Superfortress until I was talking with a military plane enthusiast who identified it for me as a B-29 Bomber. This opened up a new chapter into my research into the life experiences of my father. Thank you to whoever posted this great photo. What a superior and impressive plane. He was in the 20th Air Force on Tinian Island, but I do not know the exact dates he was there, the Tinian Island was captured by US on 6/15/1944, as a base for the B-29 Superfortress.
I just found this post about Miss Judy. My father also flew on this plane. He was the Flight Engineer. I would love to compare notes with you. I recently discovered several pictures of the crew on the island base. I would be happy to share.

Send me a email message so I can send the photo. I have a photo of the flight crew, trying to identify these service members and positions before I post to the website.
My father is the flight navigator, Vernon B. Jensen, standing 4th from the left. Can you find your Grandfather William Kenneth Graffios, and do you know his official position? My name is Judy, born after the war, but can't help think this plane had something to do with this ; - )
