Re: B-29 42-65273 lost 25 May 45 Tokyo
The report can be downloaded from here:
https://catalog.archives.gov/search?...estorNaIds=421 This plane. "Big Ain't It" was one of 26 B-29s lost that night in a fire bomb raid on Tokyo. The MACR has no information on where the plane was lost. "Airplane took off from West Field, Tinian at 0800Z on Combat Mission - No messages were received." There is no mention of any search being conducted. There is some information about the raid on this link, search for "42-65273": https://user.xmission.com/~tmathews/...ars-4505b.html There is a photo of the plane here, again search for the serial number. https://www.444thbg.org/677thsquadron.htm There does not seem to be any specific info available as to exactly where or how it was lost. All the crew is still listed MIA. Last edited by RSwank; 29th March 2019 at 17:51.
