Exploring Aviation History: WWII Fighter Aircraft At The RAF Museum

The Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum celebrates the historic era when some of the world's most iconic military aircraft took to the skies. Now, several years after World War II (WWII), many aircraft call one of the museum’s two sites home, as the spaces preserve their life and legacy. From the Avro Lancaster to the Hawker Hurricane and the Boeing B17 to the Stuka Ju87, the museum collectively shares numerous stories from the missions the aircraft served throughout the six-year war. While the museum cherishes the military aircraft as a whole, it commemorates the story of the RAF, which was formed more than a century ago.
