The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force

In January of 1942, in Savannah, Georgia, the United States Army Air Corps, assigned seven men, without a single aircraft, to a newly formed Eighth Air Force. The Mighty Eighth went on to become the largest air armada in the world and paved the way for the D-Day invasion. Observe uniforms, artifacts and propaganda from post-World War I Germany in the Prelude to WWII exhibit; witness original aircraft and engines like the B-17 Flying Fortress in the Combat Gallery; be amazed at the staggering F-4C Phantom and the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17A On The Ground; and much more.
