Stan V. Ballard Special Collection Photo On the reverse, there is a written note, spellings errors included: ""Taken as I left Formation over the North Sea. I wasn't sure how long the old bird was going to hold together. We were at about 11,00 ft.""

    I've seen numerous pictures of Humpty Dumpty EP-N, but never this one. The plane did make it back to base, but the waist gunner was killed in the flak blast seen just over the ball turret.

    Photo is reversed. CORRECTED. Interestingly, the name of this B-29 is "Kagu Tsuchi" (the name of the Japanese god of fire), which, according to most reference sources was used on B-29s with the serial numbers 42-24737 and 44-61746. However, even with the photo currently reversed, it appears that the sequence of the last five digits for the aircraft captured in the photo above is "24739", presumably 42-24739. Perhaps this is simply another aircraft that wore the name without being recorded in most sources? Here is a photo of 44-61746 "Kagu Tsuchi" belonging to Flickr user fizzix:

    And here is another photo of a B-29 with the same nose art (possibly 44-61746, given the distance of the nose art "bombs" from the navigator station's window) from the SDASM's Duich Collection:
