Since 2009, a dedicated team of volunteers—passionate about aviation history—has devoted over 60,000 hours to restoring the City of Savannah to its 1945 combat configuration.

Today, this B-17G Flying Fortress stands as one of the finest fully restored examples of its kind. Alongside the B-24 Liberator, the B-17 played a pivotal role in pioneering high-altitude, daylight precision bombing—an air war strategy that changed the course of World War II.

Marvel at this iconic aircraft and gain a deeper appreciation for the young airmen of the Eighth Air Force who flew daring missions over occupied Europe. The City of Savannah is named in tribute to the original aircraft, preserving its legacy and honoring those who served.
