B-29 Drones, eg QB-29: Help with photos?

[Juanita]

A few B-29s were reportedly converted as drones...but finding in-service photos of them is proving very difficult.

According to Wikipeadia: "By March 1950, the 2d Guided Missile Squadron, had 62 pilots manning 14 B-17s, three B-29s, and three QF-80A Shooting Stars, yellow-tailed drone aircraft used in the role of testing guided missiles."

I have found photos of plenty of B-17 drones, and a few B-29 drone control ships, but I have drawn a complete blank on the QB-29.

Can anyone help with, or point me in the direction of, information/photos of QB-29s

They were converted to QB-29s at Monthan AFB, Arizona and the transferred to Eglin AFB in Florida. You might try those two places and see if they have any info

Thank you for that suggestion.
