Chet's 152nd Observation Scrapbook
B-29 Over Barksdale

My son became interested in trying to find out what may have hapened to this particular B-29. It was not easy, but this is what he found.
B-29-35-MO (Martin-Omaha) serial number 42-65394 apparently never served in any squadron and is listed as scrapped/reclamation. It is possible that it was sent to Davis-Monthan AFB/AMARC, but since 42-65398 is listed as reclamation at Barksdale AAF, LA Apr 20, 1945 - 42-65394 may also have been scrapped there.
He later found more information:
While at Barksdale AFB it was assigned to the 331st CCTS (Combat Crew Training Squadron). While at Langley AFB it was assigned to 3539th AAF Training Command Base Unit. When it was stored at Davis-Monthan AFB it was assigned to the 4105th Base Unit. When it was stored at Pyote AFB it was assigned to the 4141st Base Unit. Dropped from the inventory in January 1952.
