MILLVILLE ARMY AIR FIELD MUSEUM INC

The Millville Army Air Field Museum (MAAFM) preserves the history of the Millville Army Air Field, Millville NJ, which was dedicated by the US War Department in 1941 as "America's First Defense Airport." During its four-year existence, more than 10,000 men and women served here, with 1,500 pilots receiving advanced fighter training in P-47 Thunderbolt and P-40 Warhawk fighter planes. The Museum honors the memory of 14 pilots who died while training at Millville.
Located in the original Base Headquarters Building, the Museum displays a large collection of WWII aviation artifacts of local and national interest. Programs and tours focus on educating the community about Millville's vital role in aviation history. Expanded displays include items of interest from the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Air Shows and static displays of vintage aircraft are featured. The Museum's historic district includes the Henry E. Wyble Research Library and Education Center and the Link Trainer Building, which house a fully operational flight simulator. Both of these buildings are located in restored WWII air base buildings.
The Millville Army Air Field Museum is a federal non-profit 501c-3 organization which was incorporated by the State of New Jersey in 1988.
