This aircraft completed 65 missions against Japan with the USAAF and 45 more with the USAF in Korea. It was scrapped in 1954. The lack of any markings other than the serial and roundels suggest the aircraft might be between postings or at the end of its career. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Pacusan Dreamboat made a couple of significant flights. In December 1945 it broke the transcontinental speed record from Burbank to New York. In October 1946 it flew non-stop from Hawaii to Cairo over the North Pole. This photo may show the crew being honoured in Washington on their return from Cairo but this is not definite.

Photo believed to be at Piardoba which was the Indian base for 768th Bombardment Squadron, 462nd Bombardment Group. The photo shows the aircraft with three bomb symbols, for three missions, and four camels, being the number of times it had flown the "Hump", which was crossing the Himalayas into China. Rush Order survived the war and was scrapped in 1946. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Photo taken in China during the first combat mission for the B-29s in the China-Burma-India theatre. A 40BG aircraft based at Chakulia, India, it would have staged through Xinjin (then known as Hsinching). Each B-29 base in India was paired with a Chinese forward deployment field. 42-6331 was declared war weary and converted to a fuel transport. It was shot down by an RAF Beaufighter over Burma on December 20, 1944. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Lucky Lady II arrives back at Carswell after flying 37,742 km (23,452 miles) around the world non-stop in 94 hours with four aerial refuellings by KB-29M tankers. One of the tankers crashed. One source says this is the departure but that is unlikely since the flight was secret until it was almost done. Note the B-36s on the left. Photo by: Tony Linck / Life

This a/c dropped the atomic bomb Fat Man over Nagasaki, Japan on 9 August 1945. After the war, the 509th Bomb Group returned to the U.S. and was stationed at Roswell AFB, NM. In 1946 this a/c was earmarked for the USAF Museum and put in long term storage at Tucson. It was restored to flying condition and flown to the USAF Museum, arriving 26 September 1961. Shown here in the outdoor aircraft display area next to the original museum. It is currently on display in the WW 2 Gallery in the current museum.

This aircraft made the last ever B-50 flight in December 1980 when it was flown from Tucson to the museum. It had been retired from active service in 1965, and was restored to flying condition for the one time flight, hence the "Flight of the Phoenix" name. This slide shows the markings originally on the a/c when acquired by the museum. It has since been repainted somewhat differently, including the Flight of the Phoenix colors.
