An educational organization dedicated to the preservation of the great combat aircraft of World War II, and a portion of our military aviation heritage. Many of the CAF aircraft are rare. The CAF operates the only flying examples of the historic B-29 Superfortress, Curtiss SB2C Helldiver and other great aircraft. Each year more Americans see, touch the metal, smell the smoke, and listen to the roar of piston-engine aircraft that are operated by the CAF than visit the static displays of all other aviation museums in the United States.
