I need info

[jimmyplaneguy]

Hey guys I'm trying to find info on a plane. All I have is a ladder from the plane that was surplused. I'm not too familiar with this type of stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated. The spray painted stencil on the ladder reads: B3G ASSY.-BOMB HOISTING LADDER AIRPLANE SERIAL NO. 44-92043. Above this there is also the number 36A5479-

Please help my two brain cells!
Thanks,
Jimmy

Yep you're right it is a 6. This is super helpful. Are we sure this is it? I've seen some conflicting results on the number but you would likely know better

Also any info on how this could have made its way to Utah would be appreciated. Also. Rarity/collectability.

I have some B-36 parts with p/ns that are also prefixed '36' so it sounds likely.
