Inside the hangar after Duxford Autumn Airshow 2013. This H75-C1 was delivered in April 1939 to l'Armée de l'Air. It formed part of Groupe de Chasse II/5 "La Fayette" based at Reims, which was made up of 3ème Escadrille "La Fayette" carrying the Sioux chief emblem from WWI, and SPA 167 "Cigognes." The group was the second to be equipped with the H75 Hawk after GC I/5. GC II/5 was credited with 47.5 confirmed victories that included 24 Bf-109s, and another 23 probable victories during the Battle of France before moving to North Africa with this H75 to join L'Armée de l'Air de Vichy.

Replica built by George Lucas on display at Planes of Fame Air Museum. The He-100 was produced in limited numbers to rival the Bf-109. Slightly smaller and considerably faster than the Bf-109E, it was not taken up by the RLM. Drag was reduced by a tightly fitted engine cowling, retractable tailwheel and evaporative coolers in the wings. Prototype V8 flown by Hans Dieterle set a world record of 746.6 km/h on 30 Mar 1939. D-1 production aircraft with a retractable radiator were flown to protect Heinkel's Marienehe factory. These were fictitiously called the He-113. None survived the war.

Only extant Ki-61-II Kai on display at the Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots in Chiran. This Hien (Flying Swallow) originally had a bare metal finish during the war, along with a red '17' on the tail. Surviving post-war destruction by being retained as a USAF trophy, it was repainted in different schemes. The final paint job represents a Hien from 244th Hikō Sentai, which was the most famous IJAAF home defence unit based at Chōfu airfield under Maj. Teruhiko Kobayashi that shot down several B-29s.

Only extant Ki-61-II Kai on display at the Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots in Chiran. This Hien (Flying Swallow) originally had a bare metal finish during the war, along with a red '17' on the tail. Surviving post-war destruction by being retained as a USAF trophy, it was repainted in different schemes. The final paint job represents a Hien from 244th Hikō Sentai, which was the most famous IJAAF home defence unit based at Chōfu airfield under Maj. Teruhiko Kobayashi that shot down several B-29s.

On display on the flight deck of museum ship CVS-11 USS Intrepid. The AV-8C was an interim measure to bridge the gap between the AV-8A and the completely new AV-8B. The aircraft was an upgrade of 47 AV-8As under the conversion-in-lieu-of-procurement (CILOP) programme. The strake under the fuselage and RWRs on the wings of this AV-8C are visible. The aircraft is painted in the markings of VMA-231 "Ace of Spades" to represent an AV-8A, which the unit flew for the last time on 2 Aug 1985 before transitioning to the AV-8B Harrier II on 19 Sep 1985. The unit did not fly the AV-8C.

On display at Pima Air & Space Museum. The PBM Mariner was designed by the Glenn Martin Company to challenge the PBY Catalina. It was superior to the PBY, though it served in smaller numbers in WW2. The gull wing PBM-3C was powered by two 1,700 hp Wright R-2600-12 Twin Cyclone engines, which were upgraded to the "C" Series 2,100 hp P&W R-2800-34 radials on the PBM-5A amphibian with a retractable tricycle undercarriage. The PBM-5A was the final Mariner variant flown by the USN and USCG in the SAR role. This is the only surviving Mariner in the markings of VR-21 based at NAS Barbers Point.

On display at Pima Air & Space Museum. The Owl was the last heavy observation aircraft built for the USAAF. Powered by a 600-hp P&W R-1340-51 Wasp radial engine, the Army Air Force determined by 1941 that the Owl was no match for modern combat conditions. The 203 Owls built were used as trainers and for coastal patrol duties. Owls were shipped to the USSR, which used ten of the type for artillery spotting during WW2. This aircraft served with the 22nd Observation Sqn at Brooks Field, TX between 1941-43. The 0.30 in. gun port can be seen on the cowling behind the propeller.

Suspended in the NASM Golden Age of Flight Hall. Built in 1927, this Mailwing was the prototype for Pitcairn mail planes that led to the creation of Eastern Air Lines. First use of the type as a mail plane was by Texas Air Transport on Contract Air Mail Route 21. The PA-5 was successful on the CAM 19 New York-Atlanta route, flying mail by night in seven hours, one-third the time it took by train. Eastern Air Lines used this aircraft till 1934. It was sold and converted to carry passengers, being repurchased and restored as a gift for Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker till donated in 1957 to NASM.

Suspended in the NASM Golden Age of Flight Hall. Built in 1927, this Mailwing was the prototype for Pitcairn mail planes that led to the creation of Eastern Air Lines. First use of the type as a mail plane was by Texas Air Transport on Contract Air Mail Route 21. The PA-5 was successful on the CAM 19 New York-Atlanta route, flying mail by night in seven hours, one-third the time it took by train. Eastern Air Lines used this aircraft till 1934. It was sold and converted to carry passengers, being repurchased and restored as a gift for Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker till donated in 1957 to NASM.
