Review:
During the early part of the 1940’s, the Great Bend Municipal Airport was built as an Army Air Force Base during World War II for the B-29 Superfortress bomber. The 58th Bomb Wing took off in 1944 from the airport’s runways. After the war, the Great Bend Airport was given to the city and was transformed to better accommodate civilian aviation. The B-29 Memorial Plaza can be found today at the airport’s entrance and is dedicated to the people involved with providing support, flying, and building the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. The memorial plaza is open daily with no cost for admission.
