Again this is a B-50. The engines were more powerful and had different style of intakes. Nice pics of it!
Hi Raymond, aircraft type box marked "B-50" as invalid.
Wrong headline, it is a B-50 which was a development of the B-29 with larger fuselage, engines and empennage
chalet, appreciate your comment. Further to the redevelopment of the B-29. The B-50 was originally designated B-29D, an order for 200 was placed in July 1945. The quantity was reduced to 60 by the VJ cancellations. The designation was changed to B-50 in December. The re designation was a ruse by the military to win appropriations for the procurement. Reference Boeing Aircraft since 1916 by Peter M Bowers.
