When built, the site will be adjacent to the shared runways of the Colorado Springs Airport and Peterson Air Force Base. Nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs has a rich airpower heritage, is home to the U.S. Air Force Academy and is easily accessible by air or ground transportation.

The National Museum of World War II Aviation is the only museum in the world to focus exclusively on the unique story of the role of aviation in WWII, including industrial mobilization and the strategy and tactics that brought us victory.

Americans in all parts of the country worked to design and build the aircraft that, in the hands of brave pilots, air and ground crews, won WWII and preserved freedom. Museum visitors will understand the massive scope of this activity, and its impact on our world today.

Visitors will see vintage WWII aircraft as part of their Museum experience at WestPac Restorations, a world-class aircraft restoration and maintenance company located adjacent to the Museum campus.

They changed our world, for good.
