Experimental Autogiro on display in the Vertical Flight exhibition at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. These series of Autogiros were difficult to handle, leading to several accidents.
'Flak-Bait' undergoing restoration at the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. This B-26 flew 207 missions over Europe, the most by any USAAF bomber. Gen. Arnold decided to preserve this veteran of D-Day and V-1 missions.
'Classy Chassy' is part of the NMUSAF Loan program and is now on display at the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB. The port and starboard versions of the noseart are handpainted and so each is very slightly different.

On display at the Barron Hilton Pioneers of Flight Gallery at the National Air and Space Museum. The R3C-1 won the Pulitzer Trophy for landplanes in 1925, and with floats added on, won the Schneider Cup for seaplanes as the R3C-2 in the same year.
This B-17 was produced too late to see combat in WWII, instead flew first in a secret project that tested the idea of using obsolete aircraft as radio-controlled flying bombs and/or as drone-control aircraft. Now on display at the AMC Museum as 42-107112.
'Flak Bait' survived over 200 operational missions over Europe, more than any other American aircraft during WWII, accumulating over 1,000 patched holes from combat damage. Now undergoing restoration at the Smithsonian's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
