Museum was born from a passion for World War II-era aircraft, and over the years, it has grown into a truly living history museum that rivals any other of its kind in the world. The first aircraft in the collection was the Curtiss P-40 salvaged from the tundra in Siberia, Russia. Each aircraft, whether salvaged in pieces, found derelict in an old barn, or purchased from another museum’s collection, has been meticulously restored by military aviation engineers and experts. Over the years, the museum has grown from a small, private grass airfield in the Pungo community of southeastern Virginia Beach to a complex of four hangars, museum space for the non-flying pieces of the collection, and a maintenance hangar and several storage buildings.Earlybird Air Tattoo tickets on sale now - SoGlos.com | Snap up tickets to the Royal International Air Tattoo from just £29, saving £5 per person, with Earlybird tickets on sale until Saturday 31 May 2014.

Historic Aircraft Brings Back Memories - The Independent | Our reasons for being there were wildly different. And, exactly the same. Craig Rembold's father had been a ball-turret gunner on a B-17 during WWII. Barbara Walsh's husband was on a B-17 when it was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea; the non-swimmer managed to stay afloat by dog-paddling for four hours before help arrived. Michelle Leiphardt's Belgian mother fled to the south of France when the Germans tried to round up workers for their factories; later she met her future husband, a U.S. Army Captain who'd landed at Normandy, in an ice cream shop, then sailed with other war brides to New Orleans. Paula Durnian's father had been a radioman on a naval ship in the South Pacific. My own father awoke on his 7th birthday to discover his mother crying in their Munich kitchen, her hands covering her face but unable to restrain her grief; World War II had just begun...

Debonair to debut new paint scheme at Indy - AOPA Pilot | Beaver and others with the museum have been working on restoring the twin Navion for the past eight years, “and we’re probably that far from being done with it,” he said. “Pretty much everything will be restored, that’s what is taking us so long.” Temco took the single-engine Navion and put two 150-hp engines on it to create the twin. The aircraft is “well underpowered” Beaver said, adding that “it’s not fast” for a twin with a 140-knot cruise speed...
