The Military Aviation Museum is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and houses one of the world's largest private collections of warbirds in flying condition.[1] It includes examples from Germany, France, Italy, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, from both World War I and World War II. The collection contains aircraft ranging from the 1910s to the early 1950s.
The museum's work includes the preservation and restoration of the aircraft,[2] and it also conducts live demonstrations of the aircraft in the form of twice-yearly airshows. The collection includes both a reference library as well as artifacts and materials to illustrate the historic context of the aircraft in the collection.[3]
