B-29 Doc Is But One (Of Only 2 Left) Of 1,644 B-29 Superfortress Aircraft Built

The B-29 Doc History Restored Tour will land in Allentown, PA, at Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE), May 9-12, 2024.

B-29 Doc, one of 1,644 B-29 Superfortress aircraft built by the Boeing Company in Wichita, KS, during World War II, will be available for ground and cockpit tours, as well as B-29 Doc Flight Experience rides during the tour stop at Hangar 10 / Gate 42B (602 Hayden Circle, Allentown, PA 18109).

Ground and cockpit tour tickets will be available for purchase on the days of the event at the gate. While the aircraft is on the ground, visitors will be able to climb inside the cockpit through the forward bomb bay to get a look inside one of only two B-29 Superfortresses still airworthy and flying today.

“B-29 Doc provides a unique experience for people to climb inside one of only two remaining B-29 Superfortress bombers and learn about the technological marvel that helped deliver victory to the Allied Forces during World War II,” said Josh Wells, B-29 Doc executive director.

“Our mission is to honor the legacies of the Greatest Generation and the stories of those who designed, built, flew and maintained these historic warbirds to protect freedom.”

Allentown will be the fifth of eight stops for the B-29 Doc History Restored Tour in April and May.
