List of surviving Boeing B-29 Superfortresses

Uncompleted airframes at the Boeing plant in Wichita, Kansas, were stripped of all government-furnished equipment and scrapped on site.

However, this process trapped heat and moisture inside the fuselage, resulting in damage to numerous airframes, primarily the avionics and instruments.

Additional aircraft have been discovered at both post-war crash sites and near World War II Pacific airfields.

There is a search for the first B-29 to bomb Japan, Dauntless Dotty[3] which crashed into the Pacific Ocean on take-off during her return flight to the United States.

In 1995, an attempt to recover the Kee Bird, which had crashed in 1947 in northern Greenland, resulted in the almost complete destruction of the plane's fuselage by fire, started by a malfunctioning auxiliary power unit in the tail.
