The Boeing B-29 Superfortress “Legal Eagle II” at the South Dakota Air & Space Museum.
This beautifully restored aircraft is part of the museum’s outdoor airpark, which features over 20 historic aircraft. It is one of only 22 complete B-29 airframes currently on display in the United States. It has been repainted and maintained to showcase its historical significance as part of the iconic fleet of B-29 bombers used during World War II. B-29s operated between 1942 and 1954 and they were only used in the Pacific Theater where their long range was critical.
The B-29 Superfortress itself was a groundbreaking aircraft, known for its advanced technology at the time, including pressurized cabins and remote-controlled gun turrets. "Legal Eagle II" stands as a tribute to this engineering marvel and the role it played in aviation history.
