Description:
View of Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber aircraft being towed by tractor at the Boeing Aircraft Company at the Wichita, Kansas plant. Label on back: "Emerging from the west bay of the Boeing-Wichita final assembly area, this Boeing B-29 Superfortress will soon take its place in the flight hangar and on the parking apron where additional equipment will be added and final touches given it before the first test flight. The airplane is being towed by a small tractor across the apron that runs the width of the two final assembly bays -- each over 300 feet wide. The airplane directly behind the one in the foreground will be moved forward to the position vacated by its predecessor."
