Introduced by Boeing in April 1938, the B-17 Sentimental Journey was a four-engine heavy bomber used in World War II. The prototype crashed and Boeing lost its contract with the US Army Air Corps (USAAC) but still impressed the USAAC enough that thirteen B-17s were ordered. Initially, it was used for daylight precision strategic bombing campaign against German targets. 640,000 tons of bombs were dropped by the said aircraft on Germany. It was later used in raids against Japanese shipping and airfields, too. It was then developed into the Boeing 307 commercial transport aircraft.

The Sentimental Journey has been based at Falcon Airfield, Arizona ever since it was donated in 1978 to the Commemorative Air Force. It is regularly flown at air shows. The nickname came from a popular 1945 song by Doris Day. It was once acquired and converted into a firefighter by the Aero Union Corporation of Chico, California.
