Although Fokker built a total of 320 Dr.-I tri-planes, none have survived. This reproduction is painted to represent the aircraft flown by Lt. Arthur Rahn in April 1918 when he served with Jagdstaffel 19. Lt. Rahn is credited with six confirmed victories. The aircraft was placed on display at the National Museum of the USAF in April 1994.

The B-10 was the first all-metal monoplane bomber produced in quantity, featuring such innovations as retractable landing gear, a rotating gun turret and enclosed cockpits. This B-10 was an export version sold to Argentina in 1938 and is the only remaining example left of the type. In 1970 the Argentinian Govt. kindly donated the aeroplane for display at the National Museum of the USAF.

The USAF developed the HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' to perform combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions to recover downed Airmen during the SE Asia War. The HH-3E was a highly modified version of the CH-3 transport helicopter, being the first air-refuelable helicopter and incorporating armour plating, defensive armament, self-sealing fuel tanks, a water-tight hull and a rescue hoist. This particular aircraft has earned her retirement at the National Museum of the USAF after long and distinguished service in Vietnam.

The B-45 was a plane of many firsts; the first US four-engined bomber to fly, the first US production jet bomber, the first jet capable of carrying a nuclear bomb and the first multi-jet reconnaisance aircraft to refuel in midair. This example was flown to the National Museum of the USAF in 1971 and wears markings of the 47th BW (light).

The T-6 made its name as a trainer but was rapidly pressed into service at the start of the Korean War in the role of a forward air controller (FAC). The FAC T-6D 'Mosquito' version performed well but was retired by the USAF as single props were thought to be unsuitable for these missions in the jet-age, a decision that was quickly reversed in Vietnam. This Mosquito flew with the 6147th Tactical Air Control Group in the Korean War and was eventually acquired by the National Museum of the USAF in 1995.

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).
