K-28 was delivered to the U.S. Navy in December 1942 and was assigned to Blimp Squadron ZP-14 to serve as an anti-submarine convoy escort. After the war, K-28 was renamed 'Puritan' and used as a testing platform by Goodyear as well as touring most eastern and midwestern states before retirement and storage in 1948. Only the control car gondola survived and it has been painstakingly and wonderfully restored to be on display at this super museum.

In 1953 the US Army awarded a contract to Sikorsky for the experimental conversion of 3 H-18 (S-52) helicopters from piston to turbine power. Of the three aircraft, two were designated XH-39s by the Army (49-2890 was used for testing and 49-2891 was a static test frame that never flew). The XH-39 was in competition with the Bell XH-40. The Army chose the XH-40, which became the UH-1 Huey. This is the third H-18 converted, designated S-59 by Sikorsky, and was used by the company demonstration and publicity flights, for example static display at the World's Fair in New York in 1964.

This LZ-1A was built initially as a Sikorsky R-6 and TOC with the USAAF as 43-45480. The frame was selected for testing with the new Doman rotor-hub system. The blades are held on the hub similar to a variable-pitch airscrew blades and the rotor incorporates a gimbal mounting to provide the necessary tilting of the rotor disc. The flight tests were started in early 1950 with remarkably good results and so the larger LZ-2A Pelican followed. The LZ-1a is now on display at this super museum.

The S-39 is an American light amphibious aircraft produced by Sikorsky during the early 1930s. This particular aircraft made its first flight in July 1930 and is the oldest surviving Sikorsky-built aircraft. During WWII it was flown by the Civil Air Patrol from Rehoboth, DE on U-boat reconnaisance sorties and occasional SAR flights. After the war it became a bush plane in Alaska but was abandoned after a crash landing in 1957. Fortunately, the hulk was retrieved in 1963 and brought to NEAM, where restoration in its original CAP scheme was completed in November 1996.

The utility helicopter LZ-5 utilised Doman's unorthodox gimbal mounted, rotor head system with no need for flap and drag hinges dampers. The type did not go into production and only three prototypes were built, the first two of which were purchased by the US Army, as the YH-31, but ultimately rejected as the rotor system was deemed too complex for practical field repair. The third prototype flew extensively in Canada as CF-IBG and in the US, France (Paris Air Show in 1960) and Italy with the registration N812, and is now on display at this super museum.

The K-225 is an experimental intermeshing rotors helicopter developed by Kaman Aircraft and built at the company's original factory at KBDL. The success of the concept led to the development of the HTK-1 and HOK-1 and eventually the HS-43 Huskie. This example was the fifth helicopter built by Kaman and the company's oldest surviving aircraft.

This P-51 was TOC by the USAF as 44-72400 but too late to see combat. It was bought as surplus and registered NX69406 after WWII. Then followed a long and successful career as a modified racing plane with the registrations NX13Y, N13Y, N502 and N913Y. The plane is on display at the NEAM as it looked in 1949 when competing as #45 in four Thompson Trophy races and winning in 1948.
