American Airpower Heritage Museum

The American Airpower Heritage Museum is an aviation museum in Dallas that exhibits restored aircraft, military equipment, and historical documents from World War II. The collection includes thousands of artifacts and materials that show both the daily operations and technical side of military aviation during that era.

The museum began as a collection of World War II artifacts gathered in different Texas towns before being formally established and eventually moved to its current location in Dallas. The founding reflected an effort to preserve the history of military aviation from that war for future generations.

The museum preserves recorded voices of former pilots and crew members, allowing visitors to hear firsthand accounts of their military service. These personal stories offer insight into what flying and combat meant to those who lived through it.

The museum is located at Dallas Executive Airport and welcomes visitors throughout the year with guided tours and educational programs available. Plan to spend several hours to see the exhibits and take advantage of any interactive experiences offered.

The museum holds the world's largest collection of original nose art panels from World War II bombers, a tradition that airplane crews have practiced for generations. These colorful and often humorous designs reveal much about the personality and spirit of the pilots and crew who flew these aircraft.
