'Enola Gay' at the Smithsonian Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center needs no introduction. I fully understand the overarching imperative of the Americans to end WWII as quickly as possible with as few casualities as possible on their side. I get that completely, yet after visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park & Museum a few years ago I found this a very sombre and thought-provoking exhibit.

This F-86A on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum was assigned to the 4th Fighter Interceptor Group at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, in July 1949. It was shipped to Japan in December 1950 with other F-86s of the 4th Group, and flown in Korea. Most of its combat missions against Mig-15s were flown from Kimpo Air Base near Seoul. It is displayed in the pre-June 1952 markings of the 4th Fighter Wing, the first F-86 unit in Korea.

The Bellanca CF high-wing monoplane was designed by Italian immigrant Giuseppe Bellanca, embracing a completely new vision and design in the early 1920s. Bellanca visualised the CF as a commercial transport aircraft but it was too far ahead of it's time before any market really existed. Only this example was built and it is now on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

With this aircraft the famed racing pilot Roscoe Turner became the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy (his first win in 1934 was in a different aircraft). He retired from racing to manage the Turner Aeronautical Corporation in Indianapolis until his death in 1970. This racer hung in a prominent place from the rafters of his main hangar until restored and placed in the Turner Museum. With the closing of his museum in late 1972, the racer was gratefully received by the NASM.

The Ar-234 Blitz was the first operational jet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. It's first combat mission, a reccie over the Allied beachhead in Normandy, took place on 2nd August, 1944. Although less famous than the Me-262, the Ar-234s that reached Luftwaffe units provided excellent service. On display at the Udvar-Hazy Center, this is the sole surviving Ar 234 B-2 and served with bomber unit KG76 from Dec. 1944 to May 1945 when British forces captured it in Norway.

Of all the larger exhibits at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center I presumed beforehand that this Shuttle would interest me the least. However, once actually up close to 'Discovery' I was completely starstruck, just trying to comprehend fully what it had experienced and what it had achieved was quite awe-inspiring.

The XO-60 represents the final evolution of the Autogiro before the type became obsolete. The slow loitering speeds and almost vertical takeoff and landing abilities of the XO-60 made it ideal for military observation duties. However, the inability to hover sealed the fate of the Autogiro after the development of helicopters. This XO-60 was fully restored by the NASM in 1975 and is now on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

The C-4C was part of a family of biplanes developed by the Kreider-Reisner Aircraft Company to satisfy the need for a lighter and more efficient all-around aircraft to replace the ageing Jennies and Standards of the immediate post WWI era. This example on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center was manufactured in Aug. 1929, several months after Fairchild acquired Kreider-Reisner. However the data plate reflects the Kreider-Reisner C-4C Challenger designation, rather than the subsequent Fairchild KR-34 label.

This C-121 served with the 193rd Tactical Electronic Warfare Group at Olmstead AFB, PA until Nov.1977, when it was retired after 21 years to MASDC. It escaped the boneyard in August 1981 and registered N1104W but the hoped-for civilian career didn't materialise and it is now on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center.

In 1950, the Airphibian became the first roadworthy aircraft to receive a type certificate from the CAA. It was a technical success but the inherent compromises necessary in the design meant that the performance specs were disappointing. This very interesting piece of aviation history is on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center.

The H-19/HRS-1 was the first practical single-rotor utility helicopter and the first in Sikorsky's successful S-55 series. The centre-of-gravity problems of earlier models were solved by shifting the engine to the front and the passenger compartment to beneath the rotor hub. Other innovations included offset-flapping hinges and hydraulically boosted irreversible controls. This example is now on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian NASM. Ex US Marines 127799.

This SR-71 spent 24 years on active USAF service accumulating 2,801 hours of flight time. On 6th March, 1990 its service career ended with a record-setting flight, flying from Los Angeles to Washington DC in 1 hour, 4 minutes and 20 seconds, averaging a speed of 3,418 kph (2,124 mph). After landing at Dulles the SR-71 was handed over to the NASM and is now on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

This aircraft is one of eighteen airplanes that were specifically designed by Huff-Daland to perform aerial crop dusting. C.E. Woolman took over the company in 1928 and renamed it Delta Air Service (the forerunner of Delta Air Lines) to reflect the addition of mail and passenger service in Travel Airs. The remains of two of the original 18 Dusters stayed in storage until 1967 when Delta Air Lines selected one of them for restoration, unfortunately it's registration number is unknown.

This shot needed a loooong time waiting for the large floor area to be free of people - finally! This P-26 was operated by the Army Air Corps from 1934 until being transferred to the Panama Canal Department Air Force in 1938. It was given to Guatemala in 1942 and flew in their AF until 1954 and subsequent donation to the Smithsonian NASM in 1957.
