Desert Rest To Recondition B-29 Bombers
Work has started on an extensive program to put the hundreds of B-29 Superforts back in the air. In 1947 the bombers were placed into Operation Desert Rest and sprayed with five coats of plastic before being stored outdoors in Tucson Arizona. Reconditioning will take several months. Puerto Rico billed as Oasis of the Caribbean harnesses water resources to fuel hydro power. The $24 million project adds five dams and two power stations with tunnels through 4,000 foot mountains and will irrigate 25,000 acres.
