Built in 1944, this B-29 served with the Strategic Air Command and saw action during the Korean War before being transferred to China Lake in 1956 to become a stationary target. In 1985, the B-29 was rescued, dismantled and loaded into a C-5 for the flight to the Travis Heritage Center. After ten years and 120,000 volunteer restoration hours, the bomber was put on public display as “Miss America 62”. Of the 3,970 B-29s built, approximately 22 complete B-29’s are currently on display in the United States. iPhone 6, processed wtih Aperture.
