Volunteers in Wichita, Kansas, who are working to restore a B-29 Superfortress named Doc have brought the massive airplane close to completion and are getting ready to return the bomber to the skies before the new year. The non-profit volunteer organization Doc’s Friends is now raising money for a permanent museum to provide protection and a place to display the historical beauty to the public.
In 2000, Tony Mazzolini brought the Superfortress to Wichita, where Boeing built the airplane in 1944 as part of a series of B-29s named after Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, from the Mojave Desert where it had been parked in the 1950s.
