Clash of the Titans: The Russo-German Campaign of World War II

On June 22, 1941, Adolf Hi**er unleashed an army of 3 million for a blitzkrieg conquest of the Soviet Union. He should have had second thoughts since Napoleon had begun his disastrous invasion of Russia 120 years earlier on that very day! During the Second World War over 10 million Germans and Russians would fight for four years over a 1,500-mile front stretching from the Arctic Ocean to the Caucuses. Learn about the political leaders, generals, soldiers, and common people who were swept up in these titanic events. Consider how the outcome of this German-Russian campaign shaped the map of Europe for the next 50 years. Only today can we begin to fully understand its fatal legacy for the people of Europe.

Presenter: Dr. Edward Gordon

You don't want to miss this! Next weekend on Jan. 27th & 28th | Friday-Saturday, 1 pm Meeting of Mentors: T-34 Fly–In.

Built as a replacement for the training planes of WWII, the T-34 Mentor developed into an aircraft cherished by military and civilian pilots alike. In fact, the T-34 remains in service more than six decades after it was first designed.

Visit us as a group of T-34 pilots drop into the Air Museum for a weekend of flight exhibitions, formation flying, contests and plane fun.

Reserve your tickets today for the Documentary Screening of Invisible Warriors: African American Women In World War II at the Palm Springs Air Museum on Feb. 4th at 5:30 PM with presenter Gregory Cooke https://bit.ly/3XH4k8z.

The film is an unforgettable conversation among a diverse group of African American “Rosie the Riveters” who recount what life was really like during World War II. They are hard working underdogs of high character who do battle and win. They fled their lives as domestics and sharecroppers to empower themselves while working in war production and U.S. government offices. These patriotic pioneers share their wartime memories, recounting their battles against racism at home, Na**sm abroad, and sexism everywhere. Without these women, the United States could not have won World War II.

Wine and light hors d'oeuvres will be served by Lulu of Palm Springs.

MEMBERS $15, NON-MEMBERS $20, PLEASE RSVP TO 760-482-1836 or visit https://bit.ly/3XH4k8z.

Vietnam to Western Airlines - An Oral History of The Air War

Presenter Bruce Cowee joined the Air Force ROTC in 1962 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant after graduating college in 1966. Following flight school he was sent to Cam Ranh Bay Air Base in Vietnam, in May 1968. Bruce was assigned to the 458th tactical airlift squadron flying the C7A. He flew close to 900 hours of combat flying time before he separated from active duty in the Air Force on July 1, 1972. Shortly after he began his career with Western Airlines on December 12, 1972. He flew various positions and aircraft while at Western, mostly on the Boeing 737 and Boeing 727s. His flying career began with Vietnam in 1968 and ended with 9/11 and its aftermath when he retired in 2004. Cowee authored the book “Vietnam to Western Airlines”, a product of flying with so many Vietnam veterans over the years and wanting to preserve the history and pay tribute to their service.

C-133 Cargomaster - Warbird Wednesday Episode #148

Welcome to Warbird Wednesday! Today we are going down the big plane lane again with another cargo plane, the C-133 Cargo Master. Built by Douglas, this plane was a purpose-built aircraft to be used for heavy lifting. A fun fact about this plane is that it had no prototype! It went from design straight to construction with no testing. There was a low build rate for this aircraft, with only 50 built between 1956 - 1961.

Join us next Saturday, January 7th at 1 PM for our program "Bell UH-1 “Huey” Helicopter: The story of how the Bell “Huey” became the DC-3 of the helicopter world" - Presented by George Haloulakos. https://bit.ly/3VFwroh

The silhouette of this aircraft is synonymous with the war in Vietnam and the unmistakable noise made by its main rotor blades is a glorious sound to anyone who served during that conflict. The Bell UH-1 Iroquois (nicknamed the “Huey”) is a utility military helicopter designed and produced by the American aerospace company Bell Helicopter. It is the first member of the prolific Huey family, as well as the first turbine powered helicopter in service with the United States military. Learn how it became the “go to” answer for a new type of “air mobility” warfare and why it developed into the aviation workhorse it continues as today.

Give the Gift of Education! As you know, the Palm Springs Air Museum is a living history museum dedicated to educating the public about the role Air Power played in preserving American liberties and the way of life. The Museum preserves, exhibits, and flies aircraft from World War II, Korea, and the Vietnam Wars. Most of these aircraft are in flyable condition.

What you may not know is that the Palm Springs Air Museum is dedicated to not only honoring our Veterans but also to educating our youth tour groups that are guided through the museum taking them on an exciting journey through the history, science, and technology that make up our aircraft and the stories about those that flew them.

As we come to the end of another year - it is vital that we keep our youth programs flying high throughout 2023!

ABOUT THE PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM

There is always something new at the Palm Springs Air Museum, where history comes alive and visitors can get close to the vintage World War II and Korea/Vietnam era aircraft. Named in 2014 as one of the top 14 aviation museums in the world by CNN Travel, 59 flyable and static planes are on display inside four climate-controlled hangars totaling 86,000 square feet inside with more outside on the tarmac. Many of the Museum docents actually flew these planes and served on the ships. The four hangars are organized by theme, with related exhibits lining the walls. Visitors enter through the Lobby, and pay at the Gift Shop to get their wristbands. From the Lobby, visitors can either go straight, past restrooms and the Buddy Rogers Theater to the hangars or head upstairs by elevator or staircase to the 9,200 volume research library and Education Center. In the outer room of the Library are computer flight simulators to entertain and teach the principles of flight to people of all ages.

The Pacific (Navy) Hangar includes exhibits and aircraft used by the Navy in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Highlights include the Pearl Harbor diorama narrated by NBC journalist and author Tom Brokaw, the Grumman “cats”; the Avenger, Corsair, Dauntless and Invader. The PBY Catalina Flying Boat is usually on the Tarmac. Ship models, uniforms and weapon display cabinets complement the large wall Pacific Map and the aviation art by American Stan Stokes. Be sure and check out the Honor Wall showing our docent veterans!
