| | | Update ! My Dad and I spoke on the phone, and he added one too many "auxiliary"'s. What he meant was "Aux power unit " which was like a portable generator. It would be used if a support truck was unavailable to turn over those big mother engines! That would explain the web strapping, used to hold it down in flight. He said he is sure he is right, but the other option, and I think he was just showing off his knowledge on the subject, was that it could be a "Janitrol" which was like a kerosene heater for the crew area (the gunners were out of luck). Some of you may have seen the NOVA documentary about the B29 recovered from the ice near the Artic Circle. Their plan was to fly it out (it only ran out of fuel). After months of excavation, then refurbishment, they started the engines after 50 years. While making final preparations, they noticed smoke. The Janitrol had begun leaking fuel, which caught fire; once the magnesium airframe ignited, the recovery crew had no choice but to watch one of the last remaining B29's go up in flames. Heartbreaking to say the least. Fortunately there were two in the ice, but I'm not sure wether or not the other was recovered. The guy heading the effort used to fly U2 splyplanes (Google frozen B29, something like that).

| Wasn't there some P 38's with them? I think one flys now.
