Five years later, 1950, we were given B-29s with all guns except tail mount removed. No protection at all. Our task? If sent we would carry an A-bomb into Russia. It was suicide. That is war.

Why would they remove most of the guns from the plane? To reduce weight so the plane could go faster and/or farther?
