Any idea of the serial of this B-29?? It seems to end with '77'...

I would suspect it is one of the 15 Modified Silverplate B29's but non of them have a S/N ending in 77?
en.wikipedia.org
interesting that Bockscar has a victor number of 77. But I don't think it is Bockscar though.
509th Composite Group - Wikipedia

42-63577. This was a B-29 selected for USAAF trials at Eglin AAFB between Feb & June 1945. Modified specially for these trials. Here is the AAF report produced.
Super, and what a great document! very helpful! The Tallboy/Grand Slam testing in the US, UK, and Germany now makes much more sense.
The following serials I figured for B-29 Tallboys testing planes: 42-63577, 42-63693, 44-62263 (Eglin) 45-21747, 45-21750, 45-21751 (Project Ruby),
In 1947 three B-29s from 97th BG went to Giebelstadt in Germany (July - Nov) as part of Project Harken. This involved testing of 25, 000-pound
Amazons. The B-29s were from 340th BS, but what were their serials?
Here is the Project Harken report
And the Project Ruby report

I don't have to search the web, they're here. Snautzer has a multitude of aircraft photo threads here; great for references.
