AIRPLANES: SINGLE, BOEING WHEN SHADOWS FALL. Contrasting highlights and soft shadows on aircraft and rugged mountainous Korean terrain blend to near?camouflage proportions as a B?29 "Superfort" of the U.S. Far East Air Force's Japan?based 98th Bomb Group heads for its targets in Communist territory. The versatile medium bomber carries a heavy tonnage of high explosive demolition bombs to knock out bridges or proximity?fused, airbursting bombs to assault a troop concentration.
The B?29 serves a strategic and tactical function with equal efficiency. June 1951.
