This program will be a conversation between Jason Dawsey, PhD, of The National WWII Museum's Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, and Michael Neiberg, PhD, inaugural Chair of War Studies in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the United States Army War College.

Join Museum Curator Larry Decuers for a look at some of the A-2 leather flight jackets in The National WWII Museum collection.
