Interesting shots, engines were not running, bomb bay doors open, it looks like it just rolled away to that fate.

Well now that explains a lot about the B-29's problems, it's being built by Chrysler! They they can't even make cars!

Oops, did I say that out loud?

Chrysler's De Soto division produced fuselage components for Martin built B-29. These didn't start to come off the production line until mid-1944.

In 1942 that plant was building fuselage components for the Martin B-26 Marauder. That fits more the size of the fuselage barrels in both photos.

Details of all automotive suppliers to the B-29 Programme are here.
