PRESS RELEASE B-29 DOC is one of 1,644 B-29 Superfortress bombers built by the Boeing Company during World War II and one of only two B-29 bombers still flying today. DOC’s performance role during the week of AirVenture will showcase and honor not only the men and women who designed, built and flew B-29s during World War II, but also to honor the legacy of B-29 service during the Korean War.
“Getting the chance to further tell the story of the B-29 beyond its storied service in the Pacific during World War II will be a top highlight for our tour season in 2025,” said Donnie Obreiter, B-29 Doc director of maintenance & chief flight engineer. “AirVenture allows thousands of people unique opportunities to experience aviation history in a way no other event can. This year, we are proud to bring this historic machine back to Oshkosh to share an even broader story of America’s airpower force and the stories of even more of our nation’s veterans.”
