POST 93.
B-29 "Shrewd Maneuver" 44-83905 (331BG) NW Field Guam, tail designator Diamond "L" (call sign Slicker 09). Looks to be at Harmon Field Guam, built by 25th. Seabees as an aircraft depot and maintainance centre.
Their air echelon arrived Guam 23 June 45 so only flew 4 missions Aug.1--14th. against oil targets in Japan. Scrapped post-war.
(one source says this is 44-83937 but this was Slicker 48 "Nosmo King" in Group inventory).
