Historical Note:    Boeing B-29 production totaled 3,970 across four plants in the US. The Renton plant produced only the B-29A variant and continued until May 1946 when production had totaled 1,122. Eighty-seven (or 88 as some records say) were taken from storage there in Feb 1950 and flown to England where they were designated  Washington B.I.'s by the RAF. These were received on loan for a period of 5 years and our model is of KD-F of the No. 115 squadron!
