In April 1941 this F4F-3A was on the strength of VF-7 aboard USS Wasp as part of the Neutrality Patrol in the Atlantic before the United States entered WWII. By 1943 it had been assigned to training carrier USS Sable and became yet another casualty swallowed by the waves of Lake Michigan after an accident flying off USS Sable. Recovered by 1987. There must be half a dozen exhibits in the NMNA that were recovered from the depths of Lake Michigan, in fact over 200 aircraft are reckoned to have crashed in the Great Lakes during the war

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
