Travis Air Force Base Aviation Museum, Military aviation museum at Travis Air Force Base, California, United States.

The Travis Air Force Base Aviation Museum holds more than 35 military aircraft and displays that trace American military flight from its early days through modern times. The collection includes transport planes, fighters, and other aircraft spanning several decades of aviation development.

The Travis Air Force Base Historical Society was formed in 1982 at the request of Colonel Tony Burshnick, and the Travis Air Museum was established in 1983 with approval from the Secretary of the Air Force, though it had no building at first. In 1986 the vacated base commissary was made available by Colonel John Tait to house the collected artifacts. In 2001 the museum was renamed in honor of General James H. Doolittle.

The museum's name honours James H. Doolittle, the general who led the 1942 raid on Tokyo; the renaming was approved in 2001 with his family's support. The 61st Doolittle Raider Reunion was hosted here in 2003. A Korean War display includes crash artifacts from the B-29 of General Robert F. Travis, after whom the base is named.

You need to go through security screening at the base entrance and show a valid photo ID to visit the museum. Check ahead of time what rules apply on the day you plan to visit, as base access requirements can change.

The indoor galleries display artifacts from the early Mercury and Gemini space programs, showing how military aviation technology contributed to space exploration. These items reveal the close connection between aircraft development and humanity's first steps into space.
