WWII Aircraft/Military Museums - World Tour

Freebird · May 17, 2008

Survey of various Aircraft/Military around the world

We were discussing earlier whether it's better to have a separate thread for each museum, or to combine them all on one thread. I have pics from several museums, so I think I'll post them all on this thread, with links to all the other museums that have had separate threads.

I would love to take a tour of all military museums in U.S.A.

I'll also post a map of the different locations. The idea is so that anyone can find a Museum by location if they are visiting a different state/country, and check out the exibits.

Feel free to post your pics on this thread as well, or post a link if you have them elsewhere.

Europe map

I have some pictures from Sevastopol and from the Ukrainian Museum in Kiev that I will post too.

Freebird · May 17, 2008

Well to start off with I've got some pictures from the Commonweath Air training Museum, at Brandon, Manitoba in Canada.

This is the only Commonweath Training Museum today, it has examples of almost all of the major types used in the program

Freebird · May 17, 2008

Bristol Bolingbroke

Sorry for the bright windows in the background, a dark hanger against a bright window is a little tricky.

Lighting in museums can be a real bear to shoot in.

These didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, I think I might have to go back and re-shoot
I should probably try to take the pics on a dark day {with flash of course}

Freebird · May 17, 2008

The only one that they can still fly, the Stinson

Freebird · May 17, 2008

Aren't Texans a blast?!

Yep, a great aircraft. Almost as good as a Harvard!

Freebird · May 17, 2008

A Fairey Battle under restoration....

Freebird · May 17, 2008

The Avro Anson

Micdrow · May 17, 2008

Great job there Freebird. Big thumbs up!!!!

Freebird · May 17, 2008

Hey Thanks Micdrow!

I was starting to think nobody noticed...

I have some more from the C.A.T. museum on the next roll for later.

For now I'll post the some from the Warhawk museum in Nampa, Idaho.

This museum is somewhat aircraft poor, they have only a Warhawk a Hurricane. {+ a parial Waco an older Fokker}. However they have a HUGE collection of WWII memorabilia, one of the most extensive I've seen other than in "National" museums

Freebird · May 17, 2008

The Warhawk

Freebird · May 18, 2008

I don't know if this is originally an RAF or RCAF.

Njaco · May 18, 2008

Great thread, Freebird! I'll have to get some pics of some nearby here. Going to Reading and the Mid-Atlantic Air Musuem so will definately post some soon.

Thanks Njaco! Maybe we {all of us} can fill in all 50 states? :idea:

8)

I have some funny pics from the Warhawk museum, {maybe not quite PC!}

These were bags filled with sand, used at county fairs to throw baseballs at. {knock-em down}

Freebird · May 18, 2008

A collection of USAAF squadron patches + some bullet shell lamps

Freebird · May 18, 2008

A collection of WWII posters.

These pics turned out better than I thought. 8)

Also some other various memorabilia..

I ran out of film at the museum, I'm still kicking myself for that.

rochie · May 18, 2008

what a great idea freebird i'll add any more pics and links that i have as i sort them out

DerAdlerIstGelandet · May 18, 2008
