bryang Posted February 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2020 During the war, Mr Alvin T. George flew 33 missions over Japan, as part of the 73rd Bomb Wing. His B-29, "Duke of Albuquerque," had Tail code Z8 and aircraft serial number 44-69829. Amazingly, the "Duke of Albuquerque" is still around, rather than scrapped, like the majority of American military craft after the war. This B-29 has been restored and is currently on display in - where else - Albuquerque, New Mexico at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. Online I managed to find a couple photos of this B-29's crew, as well as a photo of the ground crew. Mr George passed away in 2010. I managed to acquire Mr George's named B-10 and his named A2 jackets, as well as one of his lightweight tan flight suits and green HBT coveralls.
