Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress (Swamp Ghost) - Pacific Aviation Museum - Pearl Harbor

Hangar 37 on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor is n authentic World War II-era structure and home to the artifacts that tell the story of America’s involvement in World War II from the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway and beyond.

Hangar 79 picks up where the story in Hangar 37 leaves off, documenting the rise of American air superiority that was established in World War II and continued to climb in subsequent decades in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf Wars. This 80,000-square-foot maintenance and engine repair facility also withstood the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, as evidenced by the blue glass windows riddled with bullet holes left by the battle (seen in the photograph above). During World War II it was a maintenance and engine repair facility, filled with fighters, bombers and patrol aircraft that were based in Pearl Harbor or en route to the front lines.

Hangar 79 is also the proud home of The Shealy Restoration Shop, a genuine aircraft restoration shop that brings the aircraft of decades past back to life. The Shealy Restoration Shop is filled with an array of vintage aircraft awaiting preparation for future display, including the legendary B-17 Swamp Ghost seen in the photograph above. Fittingly, Hangar 79, where the Restoration Shop is housed, was a maintenance and engine repair facility during the war. It was filled with fighters, bombers and patrol aircraft that were based in Pearl Harbor or en route to the front lines. In 2007, Mike and Carol Shealy approached the Museum, wanting to fund a display to highlight the huge contribution aircraft maintenance personnel made to military aviation. The result: a restoration shop in Hangar 79 in its original World War II maintenance configuration.

The following link tells the full story of the Swamp Ghost...from her delivery to the USAAF on December 6, 1941 (just one day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor) to the February 22, 1942 bombing run to Rabaul, Papau, New Guinea that resulted in her crash landing in the middle of the Agaiambo Swamp to the final journey to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii (it's well worth the 10 minute read):
