B29 My Father flew in World War 2. This picture was taken on Guam before the nose art was applied. This aircraft became known as "Ragged but Right". As pilot his name was painted just below the pilot's window. I have seen this aircraft mentioned in one source as Slicker 28. Notice that this B29 was without the top and bottom gun turrets. The cabin was pressurized for high level flying and bombing. If I am not mistaken, the Enola Gay was configured just like this one.
