Our B-17 Restoration Project

Mission Statement: “The B-17 Flying Fortress “City of Savannah” will be restored to its full combat configuration, including operational systems & components, with the goal of making it the finest static display B-17 in the world.” The B-17G comes to us from the National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC after a decade-long search for this rare heavy bomber. The aircraft, alongside the B-24 Liberator, was flown on combat missions to German targets between 1942-1945. The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force is pleased to utilize this original airplane in our educational programs & in our mission to preserve & present the legacy of the courageous airmen & women who served in the 8th Air Force. This B-17 Flying Fortress is undergoing complete restoration & is on display now in our Combat gallery. Come, be a part of history in the making! Restoration of the B-17 continues at a steady pace.
