About the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force

The museum exists to educate visitors about the character, courage, valor and patriotism of the brave individuals who fought in the Eighth Air Force, the largest air armada in history.

With films, exhibits, artifacts and archival materials, visitors are immersed in the stories of individuals who served in the storied Eighth Air Force, whose sacrifices made victory in World War II possible.

The museum covers the World War I aftermath and prelude to World War II, the rise of Hitler, the invasion of Poland, Scandinavia, France and the Low Countries, the entry of Japan into the War and the entry of the United States in World War II.

The Mighty Eighth Museum is home to a fully-restored B-17 “Flying Fortress” and the multimedia “Mission Experience,” an immersive simulated bombing mission in a special theater utilizing actual combat footage.
