One of only two airworthy B-29 Superfortresses flying today, “Doc” is a living monument to American airpower and ingenuity. Built during World War II, the B-29 was the most advanced bomber of its time, pressurized, fast, and capable of carrying a massive payload over thousands of miles.
Assigned to a squadron in 1945, Doc never saw combat but went on to serve with the U.S. military before being retired to the desert. Decades later, volunteers rescued the aircraft from the Mojave and began a 20 year restoration effort that returned this Superfortress to the skies in 2016.
Today, Doc is more than a warbird, it’s a flying museum. Operated by Doc’s Friends, the aircraft travels the country to honor veterans, educate new generations, and preserve the legacy of those who built, flew, and maintained the B-29 fleet.
When Doc takes to the air, it’s not just a flight. It’s history, roaring back to life.
