I was scanning some photos today and found these prints I took about 20 years ago. This bomb was outside the EOD unit at Ft. Douglas, Utah in Salt Lake City.
At the time, I was told it was found at Wendover, Nevada where the B-29 crews did some of their training. The Ft. Douglas facility is no longer an active base and I think the bomb eventually wound up at the Hill Air Force Base up the road in Ogden.
This was a very impressive practice bomb to see displayed outside the unit, about 5 feet in diameter and 9 or 10 feet long. Any other survivors known out there?
