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.


No, B-29s were in Europe during the Berlin Airlift and the RAF operated them
as the Washington.

And at least one toured England in late 1944; it showed up in a picture
in an issue of National Geographic from that year. (Now, if my son would
return the NG CD-ROM collection to me, I could verify which issue...)
