A little town (Mars Hill) in SC got nuked back when. Fortunately it did
not go off, but it messed up a house and the people who owned it got
nada from the feds (the man of the house did get 2 cartons of Luckies
from What's My Line though).

THe B29s were pretty new at the time, not old.
But I think you mean old to us now.
in the link I posted a week ago about Jack Shelley, there was a link
