"Wichita: A Historical Tapestry of Innovation, Culture, and Aviation" Step back in time to the late 19th century when Wichita was a part of Indian territories as depicted on the 1881 USA Indian Territories Map. Fast forward to the bustling cityscape of Wichita, Kansas in the 1870s, where a vibrant community thrived. Witness the birthplace of aviation history as Boeing B-29 production took flight at Air Force Factory 56. Marvel at two rows of nose sections belonging to these mighty aircraft that played a crucial role during World War II. The main center wing section of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress stands tall as a testament to Wichita's contribution to aerospace excellence.
