ABOUT

American Airpower Museum

Located in a landmarked hangar of the former Republic Aircraft factory, the American Airpower Museum is an ideal setting to introduce grade 6-12 students to the role US military aviation played in the defeat of Germany and Japan during World War II. Exhibits and aircraft range from WWI to the Iraq War. Our docents interpret the exhibits and historic aircraft within the context of 20th century American history, while paying tribute to the men and women who fought overseas and worked in defense plants at home.
