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?
