More layers of flying machines at the Tuskegee Airmen exhibit hall
This old flying machines shows its own layers! See the on-board trunk for carrying stuff. Here is the origin of the word “trunk”which we use in modern American cars to describe the “boot” that holds all our “stuff”

I find it fascinating, that men used to put their life in the hands of some of these precarious machines

Some people still do. They build planes like this from models. That’s how John Denver died. He was flying his own home-built plane. That’s why only the builder is allowed to fly one of them.

That makes sense. Still astounds me I have to say.

I love airplane exhibits. Interesting to know the origin of the word for our car trunk.
LikeLike
Yes. It’s obvious once you realize they actually used trunks to hold stuff in wagons and planes and all 🙂

The wheels look like bicycle wheels. Amazing that they could fly these machines.

Those early flyers needed to be in the sky and they didn’t seem to worry about making it back down to the ground!

Those brave men -or were they just fool hardy enthusiasts?

Mostly, they survived and they created aeronautics. Without them, we would not be flying today.

You have to give it to them. They changed the world.

They did. We met a few of them. Older than we are by maybe 20 years and they still fly!

Agreed.
My son had a math teacher back in the ’80s who was a Tuskegee Airman and he was one heckuva teacher. This museum is a wonderful tribute to that generation of pilots.

The Tuskegee Airmen have exhibits at various places around the country. I think many states have them and I’m pretty sure they all have wonderful planes to see and really interesting material. We had a wonderful time.
