Boeing B-29 Superfortress: Converted to TB-29, and assigned to the 236th CCTS, AAF Base Unit, Pyote, Texas. Written off 28 April 1945 due to a Forced landing, caused by engine failure (fire), 1 mile north west of Pyote, Texas
NOTE: the B-29 involved was NOT, as is often quoted, 42-24428. That particular B-29 did indeed crash on the same day (April 28, 1945) - but five miles southeast of Russell, Kansas. The other often quoted serial of "44-24428" is also incorrect as it refers to a Lockheed P-38L-1-LO Lightning of the 14th Fighter Group, USAAF, which was shot down over Austria on March 12, 1945
