Let's Learn About Gun Cameras!

On this day in 1941, a PBY Catalina helped locate the German battleship Bismarck. Long-range patrol aircraft like the Catalina became essential eyes over the ocean in the Battle of the Atlantic. The American Heritage Museum is close to completing our epic restoration of a Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina that fought in the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942-1943. The restoration taking place in Florida will be wrapped up this summer and the aircraft is planned to make its first public appearance at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh Airshow in July.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States. Their courage, devotion, and selflessness secured the freedoms we enjoy today and continue to inspire generations of Americans.

As we gather with family and friends today, may we also remember those who never came home and reflect on the true meaning of the day.

From all of us at the American Heritage Museum, we thank and remember our fallen heroes. Never forgotten.

Did you know that our TBM-3E Avenger currently on display in our annex hangar during special event weekends operated as a fire bomber / sprayer in civilian service after WWII and before we restored it from 1984-1986? Here is a photo of it in 1978 courtesy of the Warbird Information Exchange (WIX) and Warbird Resource Group as taken by Martin Kyburz - it certainly looks a lot different today! See more photos of the TBM both before and after restoration at: https://www.warbirdregistry.org/avengerregistry/avenger-91733.html
