Boeing Bomber School Graduates on Parade

In 1942 Boeing committed half a million dollars to construct and equip a B-17 Flying Fortress training school on the north end of Boeing Field. It included barracks, three hangars, classrooms, a dispensary and a theater. B-29 training began in February 1943. The school ran day and night until the war ended and closed in October 1945. By then Boeing had trained 30,000 mechanics and flight engineers as well as pilots and navigators on how to maintain Boeing B-17 and B-29 bombers.

Originally built to house a B-29 Superfortress for training purposes in the 1940s, the building in this photo was restored in the 2010s and became home to the Boeing Test & Evaluation fleet of chase planes. It is now known as "Hangar 1."
