This F4U was built in 1943 at Vought's plant in Stratford, CT and is a rare example of the early "birdcage" variant. Assigned to the Carrier Qualification Training Unit (CQTU) at NAS Glenview, the aircraft was used to train pilots for carrier landings on the converted paddlewheel steamships USS Wolverine and USS Sable. Like the museum's Vindicator, it is another aircraft that fell into Lake Michigan in June 1943 while attempting a landing on the Wolverine. It was recovered from the lake in 2010 and was restored by the museum over 14 years, only recently being placed on show

Like a number of the aircraft in the collection, this SBD is another crash victim that was much later retrieved from the watery depths. Having survived Pearl Harbor, it sank a Japanese warship in March 1942 but ditched into Lake Michigan in June 1943 while attempting to land on USS Sable having been relegated to training duties out of NAS Glenview. It was raised from the lake in 1994

The N3N was the final biplane in US military service - the last used by the US Naval Academy were not retired until 1959. It was also unusual in that it was built by a government-owned organisation. The yellow floatplane versions were nicknamed "Yellow Peril" and this example is BuNo 1759 painted as 2693 which was destroyed in an accident in 1941

The USCG acquired 13 Dolphins from 1931. In June 1934 NC14205 was delivered as an 'air yacht' for William E Boeing, the retired founder of the famous aircraft builder, who named it 'Rover'. In 1939 it was bought by Charles H Babb Co and was one of five offered to the RAAF, of which only one was taken up. In 1955 it passed to the Civil Aeronautics Authority, Washington, DC as NC26 and by 1961 to Catalina Channel Airlines as N26K. Around 1972 it changed hands again and reverted to N14205. By 1995 it was donated to the NMNA where it was restored in USCG colours

This is actually Tri-Motor N7861, delivered to the Union Electric Light and Power Company of Saint Louis as a corporate transport in 1928. In 1941 it passed to Johnson Flying Service, Missoula, MT for use as a sprayer then in the early 1960s as a smokejumper platform in forest fire control operations. Entered the museum in 1973 and restored to represent a USN RR-5 Tri-Motor

This is a composite of several different P-40s but principally built around the remains of a Soviet Air Force example that crashed near Murmansk after engine failure in 1942 and was retrieved in 1990. It was originally the RAF's AK255 and is said to have served the Russians as '7'. Now displayed as the aircraft of American Volunteer Group pilot Robert Neale, formerly with the USN and credited with 15.5 kills while flying with the 'Flying Tigers'

In 2019 Draken International donated this MiG-21 to the NMNA. It is ex Polish 9735 and has been painted in Iraqi colours as part of the story of the Navy's downing of two Iraqi Air Force F-7As (Chinese-built MiG-21s) by two F/A-18C Hornets from the USS Saratoga at the start of Operation Desert Storm on 17 January 1991. One of those Hornets, BuNo 163508, is displayed alongside. Interestingly the serial painted in Eastern Arabic on the MiG is taken from the last three of the true Polish identity
