View Seattle through the lens of World War II strategic airpower and Boeing production with featured aircraft such as the B-29, Stearman Kaydet, and 377 Stratocruiser. Seattle is the epicenter of Boeing factory workers, fashion on the ration, victory gardens, Ivar’s and Big Band Swing! Enjoy living history characters of Women at Work & War with a WASP presentation and make time for an exclusive showing of “Casablanca.” We proudly feature guest speakers from the new Holocaust Center for Humanity, the Distinguished Flying Cross Society, and the American Fighter Aces Association.
On Saturday, April 9th, local author John Fredrickson will provide a talk about his new book, "Warbird Factory," which explores the WWII history of the North American Aviation company, which later became a part of Boeing and made more aircraft from 1938 to 1944 than any other company in the United States. The 2pm presentation in the William Allen Theater will be followed by a book signing with the author. Copies of "Warbird Factory" will be available in the Museum Store.
