This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Interesting. The upper turret is still in place, but the guns are gone. And obviously, the fwd, lower turret has been replaced by a radar unit.

And obviously "post war" due to the red stripes in the national insignia.

Looks like there used to be writting under that one window. I think it says Rescue something?

Isn't that an R2 unit?

I don'tknow the B-29s very well. Any chance it is a post war TB, WB, KB, or RB-29A? It's looks modified for some reason.

no guns in the turret

It also has a little forward-looking Yagi-type radar antenna on the cheek, similar to those found on the (much earlier) radar-equipped night fighters such as the P-61 and P-70. Interesting. . .
Love those vintage color shots, Jack!
