<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 3362907, member: 649&quot;]I came into possession of a large group of photos (posted in the ephemera forum <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/large-archive-of-wwii-post-wwii-okinawa-photos.57443/#post-3354329" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/large-archive-of-wwii-post-wwii-okinawa-photos.57443/#post-3354329">HERE</a>), mostly candid and taken in Okinawa during the very early years of the occupation. Some photos, however, appear to be professional shots, possibly purchased as souvenirs by the soldier. Among the photos was this one. I&#039;ve been trying to identify the aircraft and the airfield. Am I correct in thinking they are B-29 Superfortress airplanes? What does the decoration on the tail signify? I haven&#039;t yet been able to confirm the presence of B-29s in an Okinawa airfield.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/a2318655-707a-4cc7-bfce-61dd5c60859e-jpeg.300224/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
