Comox Air Force Museum

Comox Air Force Museum, Military aviation museum at CFB Comox, Canada.

The Comox Air Force Museum is an aviation museum at the CFB Comox airfield in British Columbia that focuses on the history of Canadian military flight. It displays restored aircraft, uniforms, instruments, and documents that explain the work and experiences of pilots and ground crew.

The Comox Air Force Museum opened at its present site by the main gate of CFB Comox on 12 September 1987. It collects, preserves, interprets and exhibits artifacts relating to CFB Comox, its squadrons and its units. Its Heritage Air Park, displaying aircraft such as the CF-100 Canuck and CF-101 Voodoo, lies 500 metres down the road, as does the Y2K Spitfire restoration hangar.

The museum's collection includes a fire balloon launched by Japan toward North America during the Second World War, a Stalag Luft III POW log book, and artifacts linked to pilots James Francis Edwards and Douglas "Duke" Warren. Displays also cover Canada's UN peacekeeping missions and the squadrons once based at Comox, such as 409 and 414 Squadrons.

The museum is located at the main gate of CFB Comox and opens on most days, making it easy to visit when you are in the area. The exhibits are housed mainly in hangars and outdoors, so dress for the season and bring weather-appropriate clothing.

Among the Second World War artifacts is a fire balloon, one of the many launched by Japan hoping to set the west coast of North America ablaze. The museum also keeps John Colwell's Stalag Luft III POW log book and items linked to James Francis Edwards and Douglas "Duke" Warren.
