Original BW and colorized and remastered version of this very funny picture of a B-29 crew, operating from China.
"This NACA High-Speed Flight Research Station photograph shows the Douglas D-558-2 #2 Skyrocket (NACA 144), prior to flight, being towed under the P2B-1S launch vehicle (NACA 137) for attachment. The photograph also shows the large hydraulic jacks used to elevate the P2B-1S launch vehicle. Once the D-558-2 was in position, the P2B-1S would be lowered and the attachment made."
Date: August 1953
NASA ID: E-1013
I did get FiFi on the ground!!!
The B-29 had over one million rivets!
(A wee fact to start off since I keep delaying my Antonov An-225 post XP)
