This aircraft was delivered right towards the end of WWII being too late to see any action so languished for a year at NAS Tillamook before being SOC. Fortunately, she avoided the fate of most of her contemporaries, a date with the axeman, to wind up at the National Naval Aviation Museum during 1980.

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.

Now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum this combat veteran George (evidenced by a bullet hole in the starboard wing) was delivered in early 1945 and tasked with defending the areas around Hiroshima. It is the most complete and authentic example of the type extant of over 400 produced during WWII.

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 a few made it across the Atlantic to serve with the US Navy, some being converted to floatplanes.

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.
