Team leader Pat Robinson, museum specialist Chris Moore, and conservators Lauren Horelick and Malcolm Collum are analyzing paint composition, stabilizing paint layers and excavating layers of grime to sustain the plane's gritty, tough character for decades to come. more to read : http://insider.si.edu/2015/06/ to-preserve-rare-wwii-bomber- conservators-turn-to-science/
