Ed---- update on photo 7.
I think this is 22BG (VH) in 1946. The back of the photo reads


"B-29s on Kadena runway. These are Doolittle's 8th Air Force planes."
The Group was there April 1946 to May 1948 with B-29s, assigned to 316BW which was there to June 1948 (the other Groups were in the Marianas); Eighth AF was based on Okinawa July 1945 to June 1946, though Doolittle wasn't Commander then it was still known as "his" Air Force.

Although there could have been B-29s from other Groups calling at Kadena for various reasons the 22nd seems most likely.
