@termikesmike I have info about this plane My grandpa was the right gunner and is pictured with the crew.
in fact we have a book the pilot wrote all about their time in the war.
this says it was lost at sea I'm not sure aobut that they made it out of the war. It could have been lost after the war or maybe in Korea my grandpa didn't now what happend to it.

I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused...The bomber "Lady Be Good" that crashed in the desert was a B-24, not a B-29. Are you saying that there was a B-29 with the same name? If so, I would be interested in finding out that story. Thanks! :)

yes, as you can see in the photo, that's a B-29 with same name!
i'm still trying to find more info - my Dad passed away at 80 in 1996.

this plane is now in a military compound at Tobruq, eastern Libya near Egyptian border. It was moved from crash site (26°42'52.02"N 24°01'21.27"E) a number of years ago.When fighting ends soon maybe you can go visit,Benina airport at Benghazi opening soon for flights from Tunis Air and Turkish
