Is it OK to post an aviation-related question in this NG and not

The Times published a review last week about a book covering the
allied crossing of the Rhine in 1945. The accompanying picture,
captioned as being US bombers over said river, showed a formation of
B-29s (I don't think they were B-50s) flying over a river with two
islands in it. I don't know if it _was_ the Rhine, but as we all know,
the photo certainly couldn't have been taken over the Rhine before VE
Day.

The tail marking was a V in a triangle. The only similar markings I
have found documented were those of the 58th BW, whose groups used
Triangle S, N, U and I. I have also seen photos of 509th ARefS KB-29Ps
with Triangle C markings.

Does anyone have any information about what unit wore the Triangle V
and where and when the photo was taken? My Google searches have so far
turned up only the same question about the Triangle V marking, but no
answers.

Unless I'm wrong ( which can happen quite often! ), the only B-29 to get
close to europe is the one that was flown to the Duxford (sp?) Museum
quite a few years back.
