Hot Rod read about that B29 cept they had to force land in Russia not enough fuel to make primary landing . Russians good enough to hold our guys for little while Debrife them befor letting them go but no way they were letting go of the B29s . They had trouble getting the weight down cause of the skin thickness they didnt have a decimal equivalent on MM was too thin other too thick.
The ole NASCAR boys were quite the bunch Smokey and his 7/8s car and such . Some one had a fuel line after the fuel cell was couple inches instead of 1/2 inch that held few gallons lol Love those old storys . NASCAR has lost it for me gave it up few years back think they have ruined it .
