Leendert, Yes, I saw that picture. I just find it interesting hat some sources have 5 B-29s ditching on this date, while others only have 4 B-29s ditching. The B-29 Chronology by Robert A. Mann is very good but has a lot of mistakes, so its best to treat the information with caution. His other book "The B-29 Superfortress" also shows both 42-24638 AND 42-63439 as lost on December 13,1944. The entry for 42-63439 says "Crashed in sea off Japan" and the entry for 42-24638 says " Ditched from Nagoya".
