722 in better days
From my last grouping of SB-17s. I went back and looked again and there was 722.

I can beat you photos (vvbg)
on 15 April 1952 two B-17s were parked on Yucca Flats for the Snapper / Tumbler atomic testing on aircraft airframes - they were 43-37746 & 44-83722.
43-37746 was a test B-17 that previously was assigned to Weather and Cloud Seeding Research -- she also had Yellow engine cowlings
44-83722 was an SB-17G that still had the search radome installed.
these two pictures were taken before the blasts. Also note that 722 had an 4-bladed propeller (Curtiss Electric ?) installed on #1 engine.
