342-FH-3A-42719-64926AC b-29 ditch Because of an extremely dense fog, it was necessary for the crew members to ditch this Boeing B-29 "Superfortress". The plane was returning from a mission over Tokyo, Japan; wounded personnel was aboard. The man in the foreground stands guard so that no one will get away with the bomber's accessories and equipment. Iwo Jima, Bonin Islands. May 1945.
