Caption: "The aristocratic looking blond has every reason to look smug, for under her inspiration and guidance, this bomb-packing Superfort totaled just 5 minutes short of 169 hours during 15 missions over Korea last month. Also shown are a few men who had a hand in the operation. Crew members (l to r) Sgt Walter T. Petrie, Cpl David C. Cooper, MSgt Donald M. McLenna and MSgt Maurice E. Gartman are watching the engineering officer, 1st Lt Donald V. Robertson of Cumberland, MD, check the official figures after the last flight of the month." The B-29 Superfortress is a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Boeing. The B-29 was used in the Korean War. At first, the bomber was used in normal strategic day-bombing missions. Over the course of the war, B-29s flew 20, 000 sorties and dropped 200, 000 tonnes (180, 000 tons) of bombs. B-29 gunners were credited with shooting down 27 enemy aircraft. The B-29 was soon made obsolete by the development of the jet engined fighter aircraft. Nose art is a decorative painting or design on the fuselage of a military aircraft, usually chalked up on the front fuselage, and is a form of aircraft graffiti.
