See inside a C-47 that flew on D-Day.

During a visit to the Air Mobility Command Museum in Dover, Delaware, I explored one of the most fascinating, and underrated, aviation museums in the country. This museum tells the story of American airlift power across generations, from the rugged C‑47 Skytrain (a workhorse that carried paratroopers into Normandy on D-Day) to the sheer scale and engineering ambition of the C‑5 Galaxy, one of the largest military aircraft ever built. If you’re interested in WWII history, Cold War aviation, or the machines that quietly shaped modern warfare and global logistics, this museum delivers in a big way.
