NMUSAF Early Years Gallery and WW2 Gallery
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2022 3:21 pm
The first gallery at the NMUSAF is definitely the darkest. The gallery is split into two parts, early aircraft up to the mid-30s and the 2nd World War area. Ironically (for a Duxford volunteer), the first a/c you see is the Hurricane in Eagle Squadron markings in a Battle of Britain scenario. Some of the a/c in section 1 are replicas.
Although the lighting looks poor the mark one eyeball copes much better than anything electronic. All the information panels are very well done with carefully contrasting colours, none of the light grey on medium grey, and good sized and clear font; where necessary the boards are well lit.

For any of my posts, if anybody wants something specific, just ask and I’ll see what I have in the 1500 I took at the 4 museums.
