As one can guess from the folded-wingtips this was a Naval Zero and painted to represent a section leader's aircraft from the aircraft carrier 'Zuiho' during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, March 1943. This plane was discovered near the city of Kavieng on New Ireland, Papua New Guinea and after restoration was placed on display at the National Museum for the USAF in 2004.

The J-1 was a two-seat primary trainer and, although similar in appearance to the JN-4, was more difficult to fly and so never gained the popularity of the legendary Jenny. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF.

A forerunner of the Republic P-47, the P-35 was the USAAC first production single-seat, all-metal pursuit plane with retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. Of the 76 P-35s accepted into service, this example on display at the National Museum of the USAF is the only known survivor. It served with the 94th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group and is marked as the plane flown by the 17th Pursuit Squadron commander in the Philippines in the spring of 1941. Marked as P-35A 41-17449 in the TDB, but actual identity is USAAF 36-404 (a P-35).

The Thunderflash was the first jet to be developed specifically to fill a reconaissance role. The RF-84 had its air-intake ducts relocated to the wing roots and the nose elongated and enclosed to permit installation of camera and electronic equipment.

The Martin MB-2 was the first US designed bomber produced in large numbers and became the Air Service's primary multi-engine bomber until replaced by the Keystone bombers of the late 1920s. The Martin MB-2 designers incorporated an interesting element, since its large wingspan made it difficult to store in a hangar, the aircraft had hinged wings No original MB-2 exists rather the reproduction on display at the NMUSAF was built using original Martin drawings and completed in 2002.

This P-40 is actually a Kittyhawk export version of the P-40E. She served with the RAF as AK987 and then the RCAF as 1068. It is on display at the National Museum of the USAF as the aircraft flown by then Col. Bruce Holloway, a pilot in both the Flying Tigers and its successor Army Air Forces unit, the 23rd Fighter Group. Registered as N1237N in 1947 and N5673N in 1948m and registration cancelled in 1972.

In 1922 the Eberhart Steel Products Co. received a contract to rebuild 50 of the Army Air Service's SE-5A aircraft using 180-hp Wright-Hispano "E" engines, subsequently redesignated the SE-5E and were used by the AAS for advanced training. This example is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and is painted to represent an SE-5E of the 18th Headquarters Squadron, Bolling Field, Washington, DC in 1925.

'City of Sacramento' on display in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the USAF. This EC-121 entered the history books on Oct. 24, 1967 over the Gulf of Tonkin as it guided a US fighter into position to destroy a MiG-21. This action marked the first time a weapons controller aboard an airborne radar aircraft had ever directed a successful attack on an enemy plane.

This Thud was delivered in 1964 as a standard F-105F and subsequently joined the 355th TFW in combat missions over Vietnam claiming three MiG kills. In 1970 it was fitted with ECM equipment and joined the 388th TFW for 'Wild Weasel' duty attacking enemy SAM sites. In 1972 the aircraft was modified to the improved F-105G configuration and is on display at the National Museum of the USAF in the markings worn while assigned to the 561st TFS based at Korat Royal AFB, Thailand in 1972-73.
