My favourite B-29 pic....

[Thorlifter]

Did you do that one Chris, or is that a real plane?

 

[Njaco]

Its real and thanks for the compliment!

 

[Lucky13]

Well, besides that one then!

 

[Gnomey]

It is a pretty grand view. In Jan's eyes I guess that view is from the B-29 in Chris's shot...

Anybody know what the hearts represent below the bomb symbol?

 

[fubar57]

Could it be that someone was wounded?

EDIT Was just on this site 676th Squadron - www.444thbg.org and noticed several other bombers had a heart under the mission markings as well

Jan's pic has just given me an idea for a painting ..... when I eventually finish the Harrier painting I've been messing with for three years!!

I thought the same thing about a "purple heart", but never have seen such a thing and frankly wonder why they would memorialize that on the fuselage proper. Not exactly a morale booster.

Interesting conundrum. Hopefully someone can come up with the definitive answer.
