In Honor of Memorial Day, I went to the WWII Museum.
The Museum Of World War Two (http://www.museumofworldwarii.com/) is one the largest collection of privately own WWII memorabilia in the world. It’s a “must see” for anyone who’s a big WWII history buff. It was not even open to the public for many years, so few (including myself who lives close by) even knew it existed. It’s now open to the public with reservations in advance. This is not just a bunch of clothes and a few metals and some posters, this is a collection that will make your jaw drop with the effort put into this collection. I will go back again as you can’t take it all in in one visit.
Below are some sample pictures, and a link to a bunch more. I have never seen a collection like it and the value, both historically and financially, without measure. All photos, docs, posters, clothing, etc, etc all original. Enjoy!

A gent who works there who flew 35 missions in a B17 over Germany explains the cockpit of the B17 and I spoke with him about all manner of things, missions, etc
