'The first B-29 Superfortress to land on the European Continent is shown at Orly airfield, outside Paris, where it put down September 4, 1945. The non-stop flight of 2,300 nautical miles from Goose Bay, Labrador, was made in nine hours and twenty-one-minutes, breaking the trans-Atlantic record set by a Constellation. The B-29 will be put on exhibition in Paris as part of the American war material responsible for the eclipse of the Japanese.' However, the same airframe was photographed at Copenhagen - Kastrup during a similar exhibition that reportedly took place from 8-30 September.
