Title:World War II
* Spitfire, Mustang, Zero, Hellcat, Wildcat, Dauntless, Warhawk... These names "consist" of exciting images of the great World War II dogfights in the skies over England.
* The airplane not only proved its capacity "appropriate" for military use during World War II, it secured its place in military strategy for good.
* The Japanese Zero-Sen A6M fighter was a "consistent" opponent for the allied fighters that flew in combat against it.
* The museum's Zero was "constructed" between May and August 1945, and was assigned to the Yokosuka Air Group south of Tokyo.

Theodore Gildred Flight Rotunda.
The Rotunda is a reproduction of an early hydroplane, the Curtiss A-1 Triad. The plane is capable of operating on land and sea. It is also U.S. Navy's first airplane. 73 years after Curtiss' first recorded flight, the museum's reproducted plane made a totel of 7 flights off the water of San Diego Bay. Theodore Gildred Sr. took off from San Diego on March 13, 1931 to South America. Exactly 50 years later, his son Theodore Gildred Jr recreated his fathers famous flight using a 1943 Stinson Reliant from the collection of the Aerospace Museum.
Interesting Fact: What i found interesting was that Theodores son was able to retrace his fathers steps to experience what his father did.
Dawn of Powered Flight.
In Dayton, Ohio, the Wright brothers built a plane and tested it for the first time on December 17, 1903. The Wright brothers lifted from the grounds of Kitty Hawk and flew into a 25mph wind. Their best flight traveled was when Wilbur Wright traveled 852 feet. After that, they were determined to beable to fly longer. They established new records in speed, distance, and altitude. Wright, Curtiss, Bleriot, and Deperdussin were all over the newspapers as they challenged each other with flying.
Interesting Fact: What i found interesting was that the Wright brothers were able to dream and think about flying and actually created an airplane to change the future.
World War I
Eleven years after the Wright Brothers, an outbreak in war was created. Planes were indeed taking a great role in the war. In 1914 planes first served as observation platforms to gather information about opposing forces. The fighter was created when a machine gun was placed onto the aircraft. Fighters on both sides of the war gained fame by their flying skills in combat. People such as Rickenbacker, Bishos, Richthofen, and many others became heroes.
Interesting Fact: I thought it was interesting that Airplanes boomed up for war

|first exhibit|
1.) World War I
2.) This exhibit is featuring the airplanes that were used in the first world war. It shows how the Wright Brothers invented the airplane and eleven years later, the Great War happenened. In which, the airplane played a major role. In 1914, airplanes first served as observation platforms gathering information about the opposing enemy. As soon as there was machine guns added to the planes, the flighters were born. As the wartime demands became greater, aircraft technology advanced, resulting in larger and more powerful fighters and bombers.
3.) The "aces" of the war--Rickenbacker, Bishop, Richthofen, Fonck, Nungesser and many others--became heroes flying planes like the Albatros, the Nieuport, the Fokker and the SPAD.
|second exhibit|
1.) Golden Age of Flight
2.) This exhibit focuses on the golden age of flight. The Golden Age of Flight spans two decades, (1919-1939.) During this period, barnstormers introduced small town America to airplanes. It also shows how airplanes changed in time with more technology. By performing exciting, stunt-filled airshows and offering plane rides to the spectators, these men and women fueled the nation's interest in aviation. he establishment of an air mail service also influenced the public's acceptance of the airplane.
3.) The majority of America's aircraft companies were founded in this fun-filled aviation era.
|third|
1.) World War II
2.) This exhibit focuses on the second world war. Inside there are the planes that were used in the most extreme dogfights in the skies of England, Europe and the Pacific Ocean. The airplane not only proved its capacity for miltary use during the war, it secured its place in military strategy for good. One of the most famous pieces in this exhibit is the Supermarine Spitfire, designed and built in Great Britain for the Royal Air Force.
3.) During the second world war, the Hellcats were credited with a downing 5,156 of the 6,477 Japanese planes destroyed by U.S. Navy pilots.
|fourth|
1.) The Jet Age
2.) This exhibit focuses on the jet aircraft. The World War II served as a catalyst for developing the aircraft. It also talks about how Germany had introduced the jet aircraft first and Great Britain and the United States followed. Today commercial and military aircraft have come of age. Military use of jet aircraft is equally as commonplace.
3.) Two of the best known Jet Age adversaries are also presented in the collection, the MiG-15 and the F-86 Sabre.
|fifth|
1.) The Space Age
2.) This exhibit is dedicated to Walkter M, "Wally" Schirra. Who is the only man to carry the distinction of flying in all three of the early space programs: Mercury, Gemini, & Apollo. This area of the museum includes full-size reproductions of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft, as well as several models and spacesuits. It's also focusing on how in the United States, NASA concentrated its efforts on preparing for an eventual lunar landing. The main goal of Project Mercury was to put an American in space.
3.) Astronaut Alan Shepard became that man on May 5, 1961.
- hall of fame
- the first exhibit that i am writing about is the hall of fame. The Hall of Fame contains beautiful oil portraits of each honoree displayed with biographical information and artifacts related to their accomplishments. the hall of fame is made up of Inventors, engineers, pilots, and industrialists who created and built airplanes, aircraft and spacecraft are represented within the Museum's International Aerospace Hall of Fame.some of the Honorees include legends such as Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Amelia Earhart, known for transoceanic and transcontinental flight.the most outstanding for me is Charles Lindbergh, the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo.
- the most interesting thing that i found is about the Wright brothers, responsible for the first controlled, powered human flight.
- dawn of powered flight.
- this exhibit is mostly about the wright brothers. On December 17, 1903, two obscure brothers from Dayton, Ohio, shared the thrill of controlled powered flight for the first time, and the world was never quite the same again.it says that Four times that December morning, the Wright Flyer lifted from the sands of Kitty Hawk and flew into a 25-mile per hour wind under the control of one brother then the other. one of the most succesful flights was with Wilbur Wright he traveled 852 feet, and achieved the age-old dream of sustained, powered flight at last. Although not immediately celebrated, the Wright brothers' accomplishment soon sparked a worldwide enthusiasm for aviation.
- one most interesting thing that i found is that wilbur wright traveled 852 feet.
- world war 1
- this exhibit is mostly about ww1. Scarcely eleven years passed between the time of the Wright brothers' pioneer flights in 1903 and the outbreak of the Great War. the war was a conflict in which aviation would play an emerging tactical role. In the skies over the muddy battlefields of World War I, military aviation served its demanding apprenticeship. In 1914, airplanes first served as observation platforms gathering information about opposing forces.
- one most interesting that i found is that airplanes first served as observation platforms gathering information about opposing forces.
- the golden age of flight
- as you can see this exhibit is about the golden age of flight. The Golden Age of Flight spans two decades (1919-1939) when aviation truly came of age.During this period, barnstormers introduced small-town America to airplanes. By performing exciting, stunt-filled airshows and offering plane rides to the spectators, these men and women fueled the nation's interest in aviation. The establishment of an air mail service also influenced the public's acceptance of the airplane.
- one most interesting thing that i found is that Two of the more prominent aircraft companies Consolidated and Ryan, made their home in San Diego.
- the jet age
- this exhibit is about jets. World War II served as a catalyst for development of the jet aircraft. By 1944, Germany had introduced the Meserschmitt 262, a very capable jet fighter. Great Britain, Japan and the United States soon followed.
- one intersting that i found is the engines that the jets used.
Theodore Gildred Flight Rotunda:
He completed a flight from San Diego to Quito, Equaddor on March 13, 1931.
Hall of Fame:
There are a lot of oil paintings of people that were involved in World War 1. There was a small model of a plane that was used for aid.
