Dad 1958 and KB-50J

A B-29 postwar converted to a refueler with added outboard jets to help refuel the new jets of the 60's. But they would explode with no trace. it was due to the starboard jet engine breaking off and rolling under the wing to the fuselage. Never grounded but crew members were given last rights before every mission with family present to say final goodbyes. I was taken out of school to say goodby several times.
