B-29s Malaya 1950s Josstick

I am researching post-war wars for a new book and have identified more detachments than I originally thought of B-29s to Malaya in the 1950s. The aircraft were detached for several weeks, I believe, under the serial ‘Josstick’ and they were based at Clark on the Philippines. In the late 1950s the detachment was replaced by one of B-57s from the 13th BS.

Does anyone have details of the B-29 unit(s) involved and dates. Also, did the aircraft ever take part in operations? I have some excellent photos, but the serials are not clear. One aircraft (which crashed in the sea 8.9.55) was named ‘Flying Nightmare’

Any help gratefully received and acknowledged.
