What happened to it between 1945 and 1950? if they are hard at work “stabilizing it’s delicate structure” and it was unfinished when the snatched it, and kept inside since then, was it out scaring the locals masquerading as a ufo in the interim period?

The AAF moved the Ho-229 and many of the foreign aircraft to Orchard Field (now O’Hare Airport) into a hangar for storage, and they were eventually donated to the Smithsonian. I’m curious to know when much of the water damage occurred.
