Re: Bent Wing B-29

According to these the navy used Biancur Field (Elgin Aux #6) for touch and goes. Site is also called Camp Rudder.

This link includes information on the Eglin Aux Field:

Including Biancur:

If you scroll down through the Biancur section, they show an overhead photo of the field which includes a large plane sitting on one of the runways. The plane was there for a number of years. There is an enlargement of the overhead photo which shows the plane a little clearer. They think it may have been a B-24 but it is possibly the B-29.


Unfortunately no close-up photos of the plane.
