Interesting. The upper turret is still in place, but the guns are gone. And obviously, the fwd, lower turret has been replaced by a radar unit.

And obviously "post war" due to the red stripes in the national insignia.

Looks like there used to be writting under that one window. I think it says Rescue something?

Isn't that an R2 unit?

I was gettin a drink of water, and the damned toilet lid hit me right in the back of the head.

I don'tknow the B-29s very well. Any chance it is a post war TB, WB, KB, or RB-29A? It's looks modified for some reason.

no guns in the turret

It also has a little forward-looking Yagi-type radar antenna on the cheek, similar to those found on the (much earlier) radar-equipped night fighters such as the P-61 and P-70. Interesting. . .

Love those vintage color shots, Jack! :D
