As "The Air Capital of the World," Wichita is steeped in a rich aviation history that began long before World War II. However, it was during this time that B-29's first came on the scene and were produced in Wichita. B-29 Doc is the only one remaining that can still take to the skies. Take a step into the aircraft and travel back in time at Wichita's B-29 Doc Hangar, Education & Visitor's Center.
