Consolidated B-32 s/n 2108471 delivered to the USAAF in 1944. Aircraft didn't have
remote controlled turrets like the B-29 it had manned turrets w/50 caliber machine guns

First prototypes had twin tails, later one aircraft was modified with a B-29 single tail, later Consolidated engineers designed a taller single tail, as shown in photo.
