Summary[edit]

Description Maintenance on a Wright R-3350 engine of a U.S. Air Force Boeing B-29 Superfortress at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa (Japan). Note the bombs in the foreground.
Original caption: "BOMBS TAKE A BACK SEAT -- MECHANICS COME FIRST. The No. 1 job of the Superfort units in the Far East Air Forces, is to put bombs on North Korean targets, but before that can be done the mechanics must have the B-29's in top mechanical condition. That's why these bombs at Okinawa wait on the work of the mechanics, T/Sgt. Luther C. Spencer of Harlington, Texas, and Pfc. John E. Semosky of Leckrone, Pennsylvania., ca. 10/05/1950"
Date Taken on 5 October 1950
