This Ag-Cat rolled out of the factory in May, 1963. In 1974 it underwent conversion to a Super Ag-Cat by the installation of a 600 hp engine and a 300 gallon hopper. Although N322Y has 12,778 flight hours in the logbook it now flies high in retirement at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center.

About 1,500 of various George models were produced. In combat over Taiwan, the Philippines, Okinawa, and the Japanese home islands, Shiden pilots acquitted themselves well but this excellent fighter appeared too late and in too few numbers to have any effect on Japan's fortunes in the air war. This example on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center is one of only four still extant and wears the colours and markings of the 343rd Kokutai based at Omura in 1945.

Based on Cierva technology, the Kellett Autogiro Corporation's KD-1 first flew in 1934. Small numbers were built but the military O-60 did not make it as an army observation aircraft. A KD-1 went to Japan in 1939 and a Japanese variant, the Kayaba Ka-1/Ka-2, was deployed on anti-submarine patrols from 1944.

This helicopter entered Marine service in 1961 serving in units around the US until retirement in 1970 and storage at MASDC. It is on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center as YP-13, a significant aircraft assigned to HMM-163 'Ridge Runners'. This combat unit operated in the Da Nang area of Vietnam and became one of the most decorated Marine helicopter squadrons of that war.

'Enola Gay' at the Smithsonian Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center needs no introduction. I fully understand the overarching imperative of the Americans to end WWII as quickly as possible with as few casualities as possible on their side. I get that completely, yet after visiting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park & Museum a few years ago I found this a very sombre and thought-provoking exhibit.

The Aeronca C-2 was the first truly light aeroplane certified by the Bureau of Aeronautics and produced in quantity in the US. This C-2 is the production prototype, first flying on 20th October, 1929. After the establishment of the National Air Museum in 1946, Aeronca answered a call for historic aircraft so this C-2 is now on display at the NASM's Udvar-Hazy Center.

This F-86A on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum was assigned to the 4th Fighter Interceptor Group at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, in July 1949. It was shipped to Japan in December 1950 with other F-86s of the 4th Group, and flown in Korea. Most of its combat missions against Mig-15s were flown from Kimpo Air Base near Seoul. It is displayed in the pre-June 1952 markings of the 4th Fighter Wing, the first F-86 unit in Korea.
