tredhed2 Posted September 3, 2017 #6 Posted September 3, 2017 B-29 Training Crew pin. Those training crew pins - if they are WW II vintage - are very rare. The early test models were a terror to fly and on one test, the bomber exploded in the air, killing the entire civilian test flight crew and even a number of technicians on the ground. Many of the test crews ditched the program after that accident (it was cumulative.).
