The National WWII Museum and the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) are excited to announce a truly thrilling upcoming event: For one weekend only, WWII AirPower Expo 2014 takes over the tarmac at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport, featuring a fleet of legendary aircraft of World War II — fully restored and ready to fly.
