On Veterans Day 2010, New Orleans schoolchildren sat down with World War II vets to ask questions and listen to stories at The National World War II Museum.
Building on the popularity of last year’s event, The National WWII Museum and the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) are proud to present WWII AirPower Expo 2015 – a three-day display of WWII warbirds in action. From October 23 to 25, an expansive fleet of vintage WWII aircraft – including the only flying B-29 Superfortress – will be on-site at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport, offering close contact with the planes and pilots that liberated the skies above the Pacific and Europe.
Operation Clipper, an offensive to reduce the Geilenkirchen salient in Germany, highlighted the value of specialized tanks in a combined US-British operation.
Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion regarding the experiences of those who did the liberating and those who were liberated in Europe in 1945, and how institutions and scholars preserve and teach this history.
