Aviation History And Aircraft Photography
B-29A Superfortress
March Field Museum
Riverside, CA


B-29

B-29 on display at the March Field Museum in Riverside, California. The March Field Museum is located on the grounds of March Air Force Base just east of Los Angeles. The museum has a separate entrance, so a base pass is not required.

In this photo, the Superfort is painted in the nose art of Mission Inn. It was later learned that this aircraft was originally called Flagship 500, and it had a WWII combat record. The museum has since returned the aircraft back to its original historic nose art. The recent history of this aircraft is just as remarkable. It was recovered from the dessert at China Lake in the late 1970's. It was totally restored, then flown to March AFB for display in 1981.
