Default Us aviation display-veteran's day 2009

I did a display at the Indiana State Museum of Indiana's role in US military aviation history. Using items out of my collection that were used by or manufactured by Hoosiers (people from Indiana), the timeline of the display went from the Wright Brothers to today's space program.

It was a little crowded and had low light, but I think it worked out Ok. Here are a few photos of the items that I had there.

Fantastic display Erick! I myself, for the first time, placed a WWI aviation display in my local library for 11/11. I think it is very important for others to see and remember tangible items of the men who provide our freedom then and now.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments. I like doing displays with a theme and this one was fun to do. I am thinking about doing a similar display next year but focusing on the Marines Corps. It will be their 235th birthday then.
