Commemorative Air Force Museum

The Commemorative Air For Museum is a volunteer organization that is located across the world, and the Arizona branch is located in the city of Mesa. The organization has dedicated itself to the preservation of planes that were flown during World War II. There are 13 of these planes left that still fly across the world and eight of these are located in the United States. The state of Arizona has a rich history when it comes to war plans. The Arizona wing of the museum was constructed in 2003 and features more than 30,000-square feet of diplay and event space. The collection includes restored aircraft and a variety of exhibits that educated and entertain. The museum is often host to a variety of events including weddings, trade shows, and barbecues. Most of the exhibits have been donated by World War II veterans and their estates. The museum is a popular destination for field trips. Even though the children are not all that aware of the World War II era, this is a great way to bring it alive for them. If you have an interest in World War II era aircraft or you want to learn more about the history of your World War II ancestors, a visit to the Commemorative Air Force Museum should be added to your list of visits.
