IN 1949/50 a mass departure to the United States of a large number of USAF or USAAF B29's overflew southern England on their return to the USA, I believe , following the closure of a number of American airbases in eastern England after the Russian threat seemed to have cooled. I recall seeing massed contrails as they passed over my home. I am unable to recall which year this happened. Do you have any record of this event in your archives? A US acquaintance will be interested in any info. Many thanks.
