Here is a site for the 315th Bomb Group. They flew '29s out of Guam. It is a wealth of info on aircraft out of there, some with pictures. Go here; http://www.315bw.org/
If you navigate to "links to B29 and other Army Airforce Units" then 313th Bombardment Wing/6th Bombardment Group", then "Tinian" you will find some then and now photos with descrips and plan drawings for the base.
A copy of a order is there that is dated April 2, 1945. It stated that all nose art depicting women were to be removed from the planes and any noseart insignia was to be displayed only on the right side of the AC.
Poke around there. It was really interesting and I got lost as to where I was in there.
 
Hiya, Fibber.

Yep, that is a wonderful website and you can bet that I have been making liberal use of images fouind there.
