I found a B-29 no one has mentioned yet, Raz'n Hell, at Castle Air Museum, Atwater California

made from the parts of 3 other B 29s, one was Raz'n Hell

The website is http://www.castleairmuseum.org/ondisplay

lots of things get damaged when they get in the way of a propeller that snaps off a fully spun up B29 blade

this made the pilot a bit jumpy, and he then bounced the nose off another airplane

b 29 with two engines out after the raid of Osaka had a bit if trouble landing safe, but found some comfy soft hills of Iwo Jima dirt to use to cushion its abrupt stop
