Hello, I am hoping someone might be able to identify the squadron an
aircraft serial number 22-4621 and the letter F painted above it which
appears on a photo I have come across. Two B29s staged at Tarakan,
Borneo, on 14 August 1945. No other information available.

Regards, Joanne Smedley

I didn't find any "F's" here. http://www.armyairforces.com/tails-29.asp

Hi

This B-29 was reclaimed at Warner-Robbins AFB Georgia on the 25th of
April, 1949.

Cheers...Chris

I really need to break down and get some of those cool books. Any other
suggestions to go along with that one? Mark
