vintage photo from USAAF airmnn's post war occupation of Japan 1947 Photo Album.
from online about Reynolds Bombshell:
"Milton Reynolds bought a used A-26 Invader airplane. He had the armor removed and retrofitted the plane with commercial engines, christening it the “Reynolds Bombshell.” He hired war-hero Bill Odom as pilot, Tex Sallee as copilot, and in 1947 the three of them flew around the world in 78 hours, 55.5 minutes, making four stops for refueling, to set the world record for twin-engine propeller aircraft. (The previous record, set by Howard Hughes, was 91 hours, 14 minutes. Both records were surpassed in 1957.)"
