They have a B-36 there, or were you referring to the Enola Gay (a B-29). Also.
The Winnie Mae crashed in Alaska, killing the occupants. They managed to salvage
the original plane?
You're right, it's the B-29. Brain fart.
But you're wrong about the Winnie Mae. While Wiley Post died in Alaska (along with
Will Rogers), it wasn't in the Winnie Mae. It was in another Lockheed (a float plane).
The Udvar-Hazy center has the real Winnie Mae.
The authenticity of some of the other "restored" aircraft like the Langley Aerodrome or
the Wright flyer is a little more suspect.
