B-29 with an engine problem over Tokyo
Is that an engine problem, or just the shadow of the B-29 from which the photo was taken? |

... Is that an engine problem, or just the shadow of the B-29 from which the photo was taken? It may be a bit of both. To me, it looks like the engine is spraying it's oil over the engine nacelle and onto the tailplane. It can't be too long before the engine stops completely and / or catches fire. I assume that this activity is what prompted the guy in the plane above to take the picture. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

I assume that this activity is what prompted the guy in the plane above to take the picture. It almost looks too even to be oil. However, most of the engine cowl is missing so it has obviously taken some kind of a hit. -- Mike Mackenzie (AVCOM Services) Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Remove "XYZ" from the "Reply to" address when responding by email. |
