Korean War Series190

Captain James D. Robinson, Far East Air Forces B-29 Superfort commander of the 307th Bomb Wing, smiles as he returns from a mission in "Old Faithful," long flying Superfort of the Wing. This medium bomber has made 86 consecutive combat missions from it's Okinawa base to targets in North Korea without a turn-back. Sgt. B.T. Kincaid, left, crew chief from Tampa, Florida, and Captain Roy E. Erdman, right, flight line engineer from Long Island, are also proud of this maintenance record, and both are determined to maintain the "no abort" record. July, 1951
