In 1936 the US Navy acquired one example of the L-10 Electra (c/n 1052) and gave it the designation XR2O-1 and serial 0267. It flew as an executive transport for the top brass. That aircraft is now preserved at the New England Air Museum. The airframe seen here is ex-N19HL (which never saw any military service) and is displayed with a fictitious serial in the US Navy scheme in use at that time.

The Navy acquired a batch of six D-29As in 1930 and gave them the designator NT-1. A-8588 was the last of the six to be delivered and served until 1937 at NAS Pensacola and Quantico before before retired. In reality this is an unknown D-29 that was rather neglected in civilian hands for many years before being rescured, restored and put on display at the super National Naval Aviation Museum.

This GB-2 was ordered by the US Navy as 23688 but instead was transferred to the USAAF as 44-67723. Then served with the Royal Navy as FT474 and returned to the US Navy post-war as 32873 before passing into private hands (N9459H). She is now on display at the magnificent National Naval Aviation Museum where she wears the original intended markings of an aircraft assigned to the Naval Air Station Pensacola.

After the B-25 Mitchell Doolittle raid on Tokyo in 1942 the US Navy decided it should have some B-25s of it's own that were subsequently designated PBJs. This aircraft, stored in the storage compound of the National Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola, is 44-29035 but painted in the markings of a PBJ-1D assigned to VMB-423 that crashed on the island of Vanuatu on 22 April 1944.

This Zero was built in 1942 and operated from the airstrip on the infamous Pacific island of Ballale (now part of the Solomon Islands). After the island was abandoned by the Japanese this and a few other aircraft were left behind and gradually overtaken by the jungle. The wrecks were recovered in 1968 and this Zero was restored (using parts of other Zeros) and is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

The HD-1 was anticipated as a replacement in the French AF as a replacement for the Nieuport 17 but was thought inferior to the SPAD S.XII. Most of these unwanted aircraft went to Belgium. But the USA ordered a number of the floatplane HD-2 and used them in France. After the armistice, the remaining 10 were shipped to the USA and converted to landplanes, but keeping the higher-powered 130hp engines of the HD-2. They received serials A5620 to A5629. This replica was built by C Swanson.

This P-40 is displayed at the NNAM in the colours of former Navy pilot Robert Neale who flew with Clair Chennault's 1st American Volunteer Group 'Flying Tigers' and ended up as their leading ace. This particular plane is a restored composite of many different P-40s but principally (ex-RAF serial) AK255, which was recovered from its crash site near Murmansk after delivery to the Soviet AF during WWII.

This aircraft is marked as 66304 but the majority of the fuselage by far is from Bu66313 / N3431G, which served as a spares aircraft at Greybull for many years. Rebuilt at Greybull by Hawkins and Powers in 1981-1982, it was flown to the museum in January 1983. Severely damaged by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004 (rudder and engine #4 blown off, damage to fuselage, cockpit canopy, tail and wingtip, and top hatch missing). Had been repaired by 2007.

The EC-121K suffered quite a bit of damage as the result of Hurricane Ivan. Its rudders, flaps, ailerons were damaged and its upper radome blown completely off. A replacement radome was salvaged from Tucson resident EC-121H 53-535 and, with the exception of the ailerons, repairs have been completed.
