New Role for B-29s Is Developed In Korean War
In Korea the 98th Bomb Group shifts B-29 operations from high altitude strategic bombing to close ground support near frontline troops. Maj. Gen. Emmett O'Donnell orders a rapid change, with 80 planes and 1,000 personnel adapting loads and targets to strike near infantry, aiming to flatten industry and aid ground forces. Later missions continue strategic bombing while maintaining close support if needed. Singapore police battle tire punctures as drivers report slashed tires and missing syces.
