B-29’s May Replace j
Smaller Bombers j
In Germany
1/
WASHINGTON, October 2. </P)
The Army said today .that B-29
superfortresses may replace smal
ler bombers for occupation duty
in Europe.
The official air forces disclos
ure was appended to an announce
ment that a group of B-29s, to- {
gether with a fighter complement,
will operate during the next six
months for Arctic training pur
poses.
The reference to Europe fol-!
lowed by only two days secretary :
of the navy Forrestal’s declaration
that American naval forces are in I
the Mediterranean to help carry |
out American foreign policy and
support Allied occupation forces, j
The Mediterranean force includes
an aircraft carrier.
The aimy said only:
“The occupation task now per
formed in Europe by heavy bomb
o v ’ p f «■
U b A Witb w i ln A.J >_< A A . 4—,
Fortress type may be accomplish
ed in the future by B-29s as a
routine replacement of obsolescent
types of aircraft by modern equip
ment.”
As for Alaska, the announce-1
ment quoted Gen. Carl Spaatz,
AAF commander as saying the
28th bomb group, now based at
Grand Island, Neb., will leave
some time in November for El
mendorf field at Anchorage to
give crews and planes experience
j in Arctic operations.
The B-29s will be followed in
i December by the 56th fighter
i group, equipped with P-5 Mus
tangs. This outfit will base at
Ladd near Fairbanks, for its pol
ar weather training. Ladd Field
as well as Elmendorf is capable
of handling Superforts.
Upon completion of training,
the two groups will be based in ,
the States, to be replaced by other
j units undergoing cold weather ex
perience. An advance party of
: about 100 men, forming the nu
j cleus of a supervisory wing, al
! ready is in Alaska, the AAF said.
I Spaatz’ statement also reported j
! that “the 58th bomb group, re-,
j cently engaged in the Bikinri !
I atomic bomb tests, has returned to i
the U. S. and will remain here.’’
1 his was assumed to refer to I
recent reports that planes capable j
of atomic bomb operations would
be transferred to the Aleutians, j
Maj. Gen. William E. Kepner,
reputy commander for the Bikini |
test force, recently discounted the
I idea that an atomic bomb force
j would base in Alaska. Kepner
j noted, however, that this in itself
i meant little because any standard
B-29 could be converted easily to
carry the atomic bomb. I
