World War II Bomber Plane Exhibit

May 26, 2014 By Candy

A few weeks ago I was able to attend a World War II Bomber Plane Exhibit called the Wings of Freedom tour here in San Angelo. It was so cool to see the World War II bomber planes. We were able to go into two of the planes. It was amazing! The insides of the planes were small and to the point. One had just enough room to get around. I was in complete awe!

While there, we also saw three sisters that were there to memorialize their father, who had flown a similar plane in World War II. It was very special. I felt it was fitting to share with you today, on Memorial Day.

 I’m an emotional person, you all know that. To say that I wasn’t impacted by these ladies is an understatement. While they toured the plane they carried his pictures, books and other family items it was very touching.     bomber coll 2

 The planes featured in this touring exhibit are The B-17, B-24, and P-51.

Check the remaining cities on the the Wings of Freedom tour and catch it if you can. I wish the hubs and the boys could have been there with me. The hubs is a History buff and I love sharing history with our boys. I think it’s so important to share our nation’s history with our children. Here’s a Vine I took of the Betty Jane coming in. One of the cool things is you can ride the planes, for a pre-determined fee. You can find the info on the site. If you are an aviation enthusiast, this is right up your alley!

I don’t know if this gentleman served, but this moment was very special. He stood there and examined the inside of the plane as if he’d known it. I’m glad I was able to capture it and include a great quote by Francis A. Walker on the picture.

looking backOn Memorial Day we honor American men and women that served and made the ultimate sacrifice. If you have a Veteran in you family, please share their name below.

Truly,

 

Candy

    My Grandpa and Uncles both served in the armed forces – my Grandpa William Lehman was in the Army as well as my Uncle Dean Reed, and my Uncle Johnny Lehman served in the Navy.
    My Uncle Johnny was killed while in the Navy – it amazes me the strength and bravery that these men have to daily RISK THEIR LIVES for our freedom. I wish our country would do more to honor them~!

    What an awesome exhibit. My granddaddy was in the Navy and was on these planes in WW2. Very cool to get to see pictures of what he experienced. Thank you for sharing.
