Yessir. This was a Wichita built aircraft. The acft is a B-29-70-BW, AFSN 44-69972.
Thanks for the link. There was also a Martin plant in Omaha NB that built the 'Silverplate' nuclear bombers like this example:
Glad you liked the pics!

Thank you! Great shots.
Recently watched THE PACIFIC WAR IN COLOR: EPISODE 5 STRIKING DISTANCE and
from that episode on ... a lot of new B29s in late 1944. The Battle of Iwo Jima
(19 February – 26 March 1945) fought for them to have a place to land safely if
damaged. Most have forgotten how close we came to ... at least not winning.
Have a good one!
