Which Army Airfield was home to the 56th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron? Came across a photo of B-29 44-61885 parked in front a large wooden hangar and trying to find the Airfield they used in the United States before going to the Pacific.

My reference materials indicate that 44-61885 was delivered to the AAF and first assigned to the 301st Bombardment Group on 28 June 1945 and then immediately assigned to the 56 WRS the same day.
Aircraft was converted to a WB-29; The aircraft was taken off of inventory on 1 Sept 1954--Salvaged at Yokota, Japan.

The airplane was assigned to Yokota and Misawa Japan.
