what is the little camels painted below the pilot's window
on the B-29 signify?



Yes, they mean flights over the Hump of the Himalayas. The Peach
presumably was part of Matterhorn, in which the 20th Wing was based at
Chengdu, China, and was tasked with hauling most of its ordnance and
fuel from China.

There's a plane at the SAC Museum in Omaha with the camel markings.
Forget the type of aircraft.


B29, Man O War.
