B29 tail serial number Tarakan WW2
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 |
