World War II Collection

During World War II, aviation firmly established itself as a critical component of modern warfare. Military investment during WWII accelerated aviation design considerably. The Collings Foundation has recovered and restored many of the true landmark aircraft that built the world aviation history.

Unique full dual control / dual cockpit TP-40N Warhawk.

The newest addition to the Foundation's historic fighter aircraft. TF-51D Mustang "Toulouse Nuts" received the recognition as Grand Champion at the 2016 Oshkosh AirVenture.

Willy Messerschmitt introduced the world to a whole new concept of cutting edge technology through the development of the first operational jet fighter, the ME-262.

The Collings Foundation is pleased to announce the addition of the world’s only dual control P-51C Mustang to our WWII aircraft collection.

The world's only flying B-24J continues soaring through its native skies as part of the annual Wings of Freedom Tour with its sister ship, the B-17 Flying Fortress.

Today the B-25 "Tondelayo" is operated by Collings Foundation volunteers. It is available for viewing and flight experiences during our national Wings of Freedom tour and at specific events.
