Folks;

I called the United States Air Force Museum (that thing in Dayton) and
got the answers to some questions. (513-255-3284)

1) B-36 is named the Peacemaker (can you believe it?)

2) There are two B-29 Superfortress 

           a) "Box Car"  the one that dropped the 2nd Bomb
              on Nagasaki (sp?) (So I got confused.)

           b) a mock up of the "Command Decision" that you
              can walk through; you should see the radios.
              The Command Decision flew the most missions
              in WW II.

3)  The name of the WPABF museum is "The United States Air Force Museum".

About the Confederate Air Force. I believe one of the reasons they are
located in the South West is that it is close to the "junk yard" where
the USAF and others store used planes. This is the source of most of their
spare parts. Climate has a lot to do with it.  Anyone know the name, I forget.
