Hello! I'm trying to locate a nose art picture on a B-29 Bomber called the "Heavenly Body" aka the City of "Spanish Fork, UT". K-35 SN: 44-69997. It was with the 330th BG 458th BS. I have tried very hard to locate the nose art and still come up with nothing. I don't know where to look. Can anyone help me out? The aircraft was station on Guam from 1944-45. The A/C was Lt. Foster B. Huff.
Thanks for your time in this matter.

Hi!
I have been researching the 330th BG for several years and came up with a lot of information. Now, I was wondering where can I obtain more information about the 330th BG 458th BS?

Thank you,
