Korean War Series186


With happiness written all over their faces, the B-29 crew Sarasota remembered on Christmas cluster around the Christmas tree sent by the city and merrily wave some of the gift certificates which were accompanying presents. They painted their sentiments on cardboard to show their appreciation and promised that they would drop their next bomb load on North Korea just for Sarasota, Florida. They have also dubbed the plane "The Sarasota Queen." Bombs on the nose are evidence of the 36 missions they have accomplished since arriving to participate in the North Korean United Nations action. December, 1950
