The planes within the Flying Heritage Collection were created at a time
when aeronautical discovery had evolved to aviation mastery. Finely
crafted by distinguished design bureaus with leading technologies of the
1930s and 1940s, the main emphasis of the collection includes combat
aircraft from World War II.
Examples include U.S., British, German, Russian and Japanese types,
which were often pitted against each other in great air battles. These
rare survivors were researched, hunted down and sometimes recovered from
former battlegrounds and airfields. While a few specimens were rebuilt
by previous owners, the majority on display have received restoration of
the highest authenticity.
In 1998, Paul G. Allen began acquiring and preserving these iconic
warriors and workhorses, many of which are the last of their kind.
Allen's passion for aviation and history, and his awareness of the
increasing rarity of original WWII aircraft, motivated him to restore
these artifacts to the highest standard of authenticity and share them
with the public.
While the education they provide is significant, we hope you take
special pleasure in knowing that these historic aircraft are not meant
simply for display in a static museum environment. As part of the Flying
Heritage Collection, their destiny is to return once more to the sky,
where they were always meant to be.
The Flying Heritage Collection is operated by Friends of Flying
Heritage, a 501 (c)(3) organization committed to educating the public
about these rare, historic aircraft.
