RONALD PURSSEY wrote on April 28, 2011 City and State: BRISBANE Q Unit: NO 23 CITY OF BRISBANE (F) SQUADRON RAAF Service or Relationship: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: My RAAF Flying Log Book confirms that B29-461888 flew from Guam on 18 May 1953 to visit the Royal Australian Air Force Units at Momote airfield Manus Island. With three other RAAF P51 Mustangs I flew in formation with 1888 during his fly over.I am in possession of photos of us all together. Crewmen of the B29 took many photos of us in our Mustangs out of the large hatch on the starboard side of their aircraft. We were led to understand that 1888 ran out of fuel on final and the Captain was lost in the susequent ditching. We were most upset. My big question is this- are any of the many photos which must have been taken that fateful day still in existence? It was a long long time ago. Recently I made a similar enquiry to "Sallyann" but have not heard back as yet. Yours very sincerely Ronald Purssey. Brisbane.

I was assigned 30th Bomb Sq. Supply Officer. Sq. Commander was Lt. Col Jones. Crewed up 6 months later with Lt. Col. Brown, A/C, Wing HQ. Co pilot was 2nd Lt. Anderson. Bombardier was Maj Sheldon (sp?). All 3 B-29 Wings (2 Kadena, 1 Tachikawa) returned to Davis Monthan ~ May/June 1954. I shared a 20th AF Quanset Hut with Lt. Sullivan (Nav). I'd like to renew memories - especially the crew that dropped down on the deck and surprised an aircraft carrier by dropping gear and simulating a landing approach ~ during a fleet interception exercise.

Only crash in that year. Helped pull two officers out of plane as fire commenced. Three more removed by Medical Team. Flight Surgeon Team worked on all. I was ordered back to duty. Orders to Okinawa and Japan ensued. I need to know if the survivors made it to recovery. It is always on my mind. With Veteran's Day approaching I would like to have closure. Anyone with knowledge regarding this please contact me. With much appreciation.
