This was the first B-29 in Europe - as most viewers will know, the type was not used against the Germans. Coming straight from Goose Bay, it landed at Paris - Orly on 4 September 1945 to be put on display at an exhibition of US military power there, but oddly it is seen here at a similar show in Denmark which apparently opened only a few days later. The same Superfortress was also on view at Amsterdam - Schiphol in late October 1945. Photo from: Vejle Stadsarkiv This photo was added on 2 January 2024, and has since been viewed 198 times. |
