Re: History of B-29 '224612

Should correspond to B-29-40BW
According to Robert Mann it was delivered to USAAF 31 July 1944 and handed over to 236 Base Unit.
Named Klondyke Kutey (his spelling) and coded 12
It was SOC 11 Sep 1950 when it was reclaimed at Pyote

Unfortunately Mann's book leaves a lot more to ask for and his reading of the type's IARC is very rudimentary.

Possibly (if the aircraft WAS assigned to a front line unit) it would mean going through the book page-by-page.
On the other hand if it stayed in the US all its life, you will not find anything further in his book.

Cheers
Stig
