I spoke with my good friend, author Wolfgang Samuel, about this aircraft. He was a child in Germany during the war, and his father was in the Luftwaffe ( not a pilot). Wolfgang came to the US in his teens, attended college and entered the USAF as an officer. He became a rad/nav crewman and actually flew in this B-47 four times. Wolfgang flew spy missions over USSR early on, and transitioned to the USAF RB-66 during the Vietnam War. He has authored 12 different books on aviators, WWII, cold war, etc., as well as his most prolific book, German Boy, about surviving the war and its aftermath before coming to the US.
I have read at least one of his books: 'I Always Wanted to Fly. America's Cold War Airmen (2001)'. What can I say? It's a great book!

These AI created aircraft images keep getting more ridiculous.

Ah my babies. I spent 12 out of twenty years keeping-135's in the air. First two are E's and the last an early A model. All the E's were Reserve birds, possibly some ANG as well. At Grissom we had 36 A's and a wing of reserve birds. One night in Building 300 (ISO dock) one of my buddies had to can a HF receiver (a most difficult job) and afterwards he noted he stole it off the wrong aircraft. He stole it from an E model not an A. He had to can the one from the correct aircraft to fix the reserve bird. The HF receiver was in the aft of the plane through a small hatch just forward of the left horizontal stab and the unit weighed about 150lbs. Four foot across and circular with three handles on the front of the unit. There was no good way to carry it but Harry got it done. Better part of the night.
