The Museum of Aviation, Warner Robins, Georgia, is inviting visitors to come to the Museum the weekend of June 6 to walk through its D-Day exhibit which opened to the public in 2008. The interactive exhibit tells the story of the 507th parachute infantry regiment, the 61st and 442nd Troop Carrier Groups that ferried them to Normandy and the 325th Glider Regiment that fought alongside them.
The exhibit includes a recreation of the planning room used by General Eisenhower and leaders of the allied forces, an actual C-47 aircraft fuselage with its skin cutaway to see paratroopers ready to drop into France, a room full of artifacts from D-Day and a small theater which shows two films: a documentary on the 507th and an award winning special 20-minute dramatic film created for the Museum of Aviation called “Papa Said – We Should Never Forget.”
