Boeing WB-29
Boeing WB-29 of the 55th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, McClellan Air Force Base, Calif., on April 30, 1952. Note the air sampling scoop on the aft upper fuselage. The "Bug Catcher" was used to test for radiation levels after surface nuclear weapon tests. The ground crew is hosing off the No. 4 engine during radioactive decontamination (note the sign). Probably a procedure test since the ground crew isn't wearing any protective gear. (U.S. Air Force photo)
