Luchtvaart- & Oorlogsmuseum Texel, Aviation and military museum in De Cocksdorp, Netherlands.
The Luchtvaart- & Oorlogsmuseum Texel is an aviation and military museum on the Dutch island of Texel, located near the local airport. It displays historical aircraft, wartime objects, and information about regional aviation history across several exhibition halls.
The museum documents the Georgian Uprising in April 1945, when conscripted soldiers turned against German occupation forces and made Texel Europe's final battleground. This event shaped the island's modern history and turned it into a key location for understanding late-war European resistance.
The museum shows how island residents experienced warfare and aviation through their own eyes. Visitors find personal stories from people who lived through bombardment or worked in flying during those times.
The museum sits right by the airport with surrounding grounds that are easy to navigate. Visitors should plan several hours to explore the exhibitions thoroughly.
The collection includes rare aircraft like a Kolibrie helicopter and a Fokker Spin replica, representing different phases of aircraft development. These machines are remnants from various periods and show how aviation changed on the island.
