This B-17G Represents All Who Served Valiantly.

Historically, Americans have come together for the common good when confronted with adversity. America was strong in the air and on the home front during WWII. Out of this ordeal came countless acts of selflessness and heroism. Collecting, cataloging and exhibiting these inspiring stories is a vital part of the mission for the Wings of Freedom Project.

The WWII population is vanishing at an alarming rate. Preservation of these historical personal stories is imperative for the education of future generations.

The Wings of Freedom Project (W.O.F.) is building a lasting tribute to the men & women of WWII. We will recognize all who have served to preserve our Freedom. We are collecting and preserving personal stories, photos and memorabilia from the families of the Pacific Northwest veterans and others who played a role in WWII.

The “Wings of Freedom Showcase” museum building is home to the restored “nose” section of the plane and many other rare artifacts. Yet, while this particular B-17-“The Lacey Lady” carries a colorful individual history tied to the Oregon family whose vision is at the heart of the project, The Wings of Freedom is not a strict “aviation museum”. The main emphasis of the Wings of Freedom Project, by contrast, will not only be about aircraft – but about the men and women who flew, fought and served during this significant period in history.
 

There is an urgent call to SAVE these precious personal items, they will be utilized to educate the future by The Wings of Freedom Project. If you have or know of items that should be preserved we accept items in The Showcase (museum) OPEN Friday –Sunday 10 to 2:00 or at the business office Monday–Friday regular business hours.

Exhibits rotate and items are considered for display based on their relationship to the WWII era, quality of preservation, and unique ability to represent the current exhibit.
The “Wings of Freedom Showcase” is open FREE to the public and staffed by our valued volunteers. More volunteers are needed. Join the Crew Now.
