Yes, she was beautiful with shinny skin and a very symbol of highly advanced American technology in the Japanese sky.

What a fabulous picture in post #32 with so much to commend it, besides just the modification oof the Super Fortress going on. Notice the P-75 Eagle fuselage in production just to the right there behind, and perpendicular to the B-29, as well as the stock piles of outer wings and stabilizers for the 29 that were also being produced on site. At this point it looked like there may still be a chance for the Eagle, but it was not to be. How I wish I could step into this picture if even just for a little while...
