About This Cause

The American Air Museum at IWM Duxford stands as a memorial to the 30,000 members of the US Army Air Forces who died while flying from Britain during the Second World War. It tells the story of the people whose lives were shaped by American airpower over a century of war. Over 850 objects including equipment, uniforms, keepsakes, and photographs, illustrate the individual experiences of 85 people from over 100 years of Anglo-American history. From Private to President these people’s lives have shaped, or been shaped, by their experiences of war. The American Air Museum is also home to the largest collection of American military aircraft on public display outside the United States. We endeavor to be an enduring monument and education hub that honors ingenuity, courage, and sacrifice from the First World War to today.
