| Description | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: CollectionThe museum's collection of Japanese aircraft is the largest of its type in the world. This collection includes the only authentic airworthy example of the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter in the world, with its original Sakae engine and an Aichi D3A featured in the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!. Many other rare aircraft are maintained in flyable condition, such as a North American P-51A Mustang, a Boeing P-26A Peashooter, a Lockheed P-38J Lightning, and a Republic P-47G Thunderbolt. Many of the museum's roughly 150 aircraft were built in Southern California, and about 30 are flyable. Others are under restoration in the full-time restoration facility. The complete collection is listed at Wikipedia "Planes of Fame Air Museum". The Artifacts, memorabilia, and other items from the Planes of Fame Air Museum Valle-Williams, AZ have been transferred to the Chino headquarter. Military vehiclesThe Military Vehicle Corps, often referred to as the Motor Pool, is a small group within the Planes of Fame Air Museum. The Military Vehicles in their collection are primarily from World War II and are maintained and operated by a group of Museum volunteers. These vehicles are used in parades, public events (e.g. Marching Thru History), and WWII re-enactments. The following vehicles are some of those that are on display at Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino: M4A1 Sherman Tank |
