56th Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron

Ed Stringer wrote, "I was stationed at Yokota AFB, Japan from May until Nov. '52.

My 56th Reconnaissance Squadron flew WB-29s on daily missions over Korea to collect

weather data for the bomber raids. Our secondary mission was to fly into the eye of typhoons

in the Pacific Ocean." Ed pointed out that the B-29 top and bottom turrets were removed from

the WB version and replaced with a "box" on the top of the fuselage.
