Ground Personnel
GROUND CREW
A ground crew was assigned to each aircraft. Each ground crew was under the command of a crew chief (whose name might be painted on the side of the aircraft). The tasks of the ground crew were to perform routine maintenance on the aircraft, to patch up minor battle damage and to hunt for gremlins hiding in aircraft systems. Each squadron included support personnel assigned to particular specialties. These included aircraft refuelers and armorers, radio and radar technicians, and cooks and chaplains. Standard military dictum is that every combat soldier requires 5 to10 people supporting him to make sure that he is supplied with beans and bullets. This is particularly true where the combatant is using a high tech weapon such as an aircraft. Without those people behind him, he might as well be throwing rocks.
The B-29 support groups can be divided into three categories:
• The Aircraft Ground Crews – who were assigned to a particular aircraft.
• The Squadron Service Personnel – who provided daily support for the men and the machines.
• The Service Groups – who initially handled only the big jobs and later provided most of the ground crew personnel.

40th Squadron
Major Sgt William J. Owens was crew chief on “Gravel Gertie,” which “completed 22 combat missions without a mechanical malfunction necessitating an early return.”
He received a Citation for Meritorious Service.
Gordon Kirchner gets a break from working on “Flak Alley Sally” to take a look outdoors.
All that glass caused the B-29 to become quite hot, and there was no electricity to run fans.
AIRCRAFT GROUND CREWS
The Ground Crews were probably the hardest working men on the base. They had the difficult task of making sure that, not only was the B-29 assigned to them ready for the next mission, but would carry the crew all the way to Japan and back. This was a difficult task under the best of conditions, particularly given the mechanical quirks of the B-29. They worked indoors and outdoors, in all kinds of weather, day and night. Their only rest was when the aircraft was on a mission. But, even then, they spent most of the time worrying about whether the plane and crew would return safely.

• The Service Groups – who initially handled only the big jobs and later provided most of the ground crew personnel.
Types of Maintenance
Maintenance work was divided in to “echelons.” First echelon maintenance included pre and post-flight inspections, and minor repairs and servicing. Second echelon maintenance included periodic inspections (25, 50 and 100 hour inspections), adjustments or replacement of equipment, and engine changes. Third and fourth echelon maintenance included major work, such as engine overhauls.
The Crew Chief System
When the 6th Bomb Group arrived at Tinian, the USAAF was still using the “Crew Chief System.” In this system, a Crew Chief [MOS 750] was permanently assigned to each airplane. In addition, the crew chief had an assistant crew chief and five Airplane and Engine Mechanics [MOS 747] to help with the maintenance of the plane. The mechanic was qualified in all systems except armament, camera, and radio. The crew chief was a master mechanic. The crew chief and his crew members maintained the airframe, engines, controls, and accessory systems. Each Squadron had a certain number of specialists, including Armorers and Electrical Technician [MOS 685]. The major advantage with this system is that each ground crew had a special knowledge and attachment to their airplane. A disadvantage was that some ground crews ended up working harder than others, depending on the condition of the aircraft.
The Post Line Maintenance System
During the latter part of the war, the USAAF changed from the “Crew Chief System” to the “Post Line Maintenance System”. In this system a much smaller ground crew was permanently assigned to each airplane. These included a Crew Chief , an assistant crew chief and only one Airplane and Engine Mechanic. To supplement their efforts, the Crew Chief called upon specialists from the Service Groups. As a result of this change, most members of the ground crews were reassigned to the Service Groups where they would be called upon as needed. While most of the men probably missed being attached to a particular airplane, this change helped maximize the workforce by assigning individuals to airplanes based on need.
Group Maintenance
A combat group had a commander for all group maintenance, which was done in a maintenance section headed by an engineering officer. The section was divided into two branches: a flying line maintenance branch and a production line maintenance branch, each headed by an assistant engineering officer. The flying line maintenance branch was broken into four units: one each for maintenance, servicing, armament, and communications. This branch was responsible for servicing, preflight, daily and 25-hour inspections, filling out forms, all contact with aircrews, replacement of aircraft and engine units (unless it would involve excessive out-of-commission time), and accomplishment of technical order changes. The production line maintenance branch consisted of 14 units: one each for cockpit and cabin, cleaning, flight controls and surfaces, hydraulic and landing gear, engine, fuel and oil, electrical, instrument, propeller, armament, communications, metal repair, ground equipment repair, and parachute. This branch was responsible for washing and cleaning; accomplishment of 50-hour, 100-hour, and other periodic inspections; engine changes: and technical order changes beyond the capability of the flying line maintenance branch. The production branch also changed major assemblies; did metal repair and maintenance and servicing of flight-line and hangar equipment; and prepared engines and aircraft for return to supply or depot and aircraft for return to depot.
The Job of the Crew Chief
Both systems placed a lot of responsibility on the Crew Chief. The Citation for Meritorious Service received by Sgt William J. Owens, Crew Chief for “Gravel Gertie,” illustrates the kind of work involved:
“Sergeant Owens was Crew Chief at a base in the Marianas Islands supervising the maintenance of a B-29 aircraft. Working under adverse conditions which frequently involved new problems never before faced in aircraft maintenance, he directed the ground servicing of his place so effectively that it completed 22 combat missions without a mechanical malfunction necessitating early return. Displaying indefatigable zeal, he devoted exceptionally long hours to keep the plane operational, sometimes leading his crew in repairing battle damage suffered in one raid while simultaneously readying the bomber for its next mission.”

Engine overhaul on a B-29. A special crew handled these tasks, performing them at the revetment. Even with all this equipment, an overhaul took more than a day to complete.
Each squadron had other service personnel who handled the specialized maintenance chores on the planes, as well as keeping the aircraft fueled and armed for each mission. The cooks, medics and chaplains took care of the men.
