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.
