One reply on “WWII B-29 CRASH LANDING IWO JIMA”
Do you know the name of the plane in the B29 picture or what it’s nose art said? My dad was a bombardier on the American Beauty which crashed at Iwo Jima. He was the only one hurt in the crash as it went in nose first, and he wound up in a body cast for 7 months afterwards.
