B-29 / B-50 Markings

Posted by Mike Henniger on Mon Jul 29, 2002 11:45:26 AM

I am trying to determine the serial numbers of B-29s by their markings. For example, I have a pictures of one B-29 with "K" and "40" on the tail. As I loosely understand it a bomb squadron is identified by the letter "K", and the "40" is simply an identifier used by the squadron for maintenance and assignment purposes. Is there any source of info on the vast web where I might be able to find the serials of the B-29s that carried the markings "K" and "40"?

Regards

Mike
