Re: American aircraft photos 8 - 12
Sorry Ed these are unlikely to be 22BG; the note on the photos ( " Doolittle's 8th Air Force planes") means more likely the 2 B-29 Groups from the 316BW at Kadena, 333rd ( Aug.5 1945 to 28 May 1946) or 346th (Aug.7 1945 to 30 June 1946). Wing HQ was also there. Eighth AF was established on Okinawa July 16 1945, Doolittle commanding 3 days later. They look like new planes, no markings.
The 22BG didn't move to Okinawa until May-June 1946 when they got B-29s. The other 2 Groups from the Wing were on Guam and Tinian. Regards Nick
