History of the Air Force Museum

The National Museum of the US Air Force is the world's largest military aviation museum, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio.  Its roots originate in 1923 with the research conducted at Dayton’s McCook Field that was gathered in a small hangar at the field.  Eventually, the collection moved to Wright Field and became known as the Air Force Museum.  As with all good things in Dayton, the Kettering Family saw the need for a permanent structure and formed the Air Force Museum Foundation.  In 1960, the museum was relocated to its current location at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and a new facility was constructed and dedicated by President Nixon in 1971.  Today, the museum is part of the National Aviation Heritage Area and holds countless artifacts such as the Memphis Belle, Bockscar, nearly every famous fighter, bomber, transport, and many spacecraft related to Airmen.  With over 360 aircraft and spacecraft on display, the museum tells the story of aviation from the Wright brothers to the present day.
