Life on the Base at North Field, Guam 1945 by Al Wood (one of our own B-29 mailing list members). There's lots of material on the web about the operational aspects of B-29's these days.

At the moment, the photos, recollections and opinions will be mine alone, after 55 years in storage, but hopefully others will come forward with photos and their impressions, so that the final result will be reasonably accurate.
