During World War II, Boeing’s Wichita plant produced more than sixteen-hundred [1,600] B-29 bombers. One of those planes — now known as “Doc” — spent decades rusting in the Mojave Desert before being brought back to Wichita. Josh Wells is head of the nonprofit that supports the plane. KMUW’s Dan Dillon talked with him in advance of Doc’s busy summer air show season.
