CAF Airpower Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:34:28

Historic warplanes are the stars at this impressive museum at Midland International Airport. The home of the Commemorative Air Force (formerly the politically incorrectly named Confederate Air Force), this sizable museum has a large collection of planes, mostly from WWII. It has an excellent section devoted to that war, which doesn't flinch from tough subjects such as the atom bomb.

Most moving is the nose art collection: the bawdy images painted on aircraft by men far from home tasked with unspeakable duties.
