Elenco di musei che offrono fonti di documentazione e ricerca [sarebbe interessante vedere qualche elenco di musei automobilistici]
Davies Monthon Air Force Base (DMAFB) & Aerospace Maintenance Phone: (602)750-3900 Notes: Reservations required. Tour takes about 1 - 1.5 hours. Tours by bus. Leaving the bus during the tour is not permitted, but photo stops to take pictures through the windows are made. National Air And Space Museum Address: NASM Archives Division Room 3100 MRC 322 Washington, DC 20560 Info: Send them a letter requesting info on no more than 3 aircraft. They will respond (hopefully) within 2 weeks on what info is available. You then send a check & they ship the stuff via UPS. The prices quoted were very nominal - something like $0.35 square foot for reproducing large size plans. The drawings are generally $3 - $7, depending upon size and number of sheets. I ordered a couple of planes which came with 3-4 different sheets. There is a $3.50 UPS shipping charge.There are approximately 150 different aircraft available. Pima Air Museum Address: Tuscon Air Museum Foundation of Pima County 6000 E. Valencia Tuscon, Arizona 85706 Phone: (602)574-0462 Notes: No reservations required. a/c include an SR-71 and the B-29 Sentimental Journey. Titan Missile Museum.

Most of the place is open. Photograph is allowed. Someone posted that there is a list of space and aviation museums that has been put together by Bill Standerfer. If you are out there, maybe we can include it in the next FAQ.

* submitted by krank@freenet.scri.fsu.edu (Ken Kranz) National Museum of Naval Aviation Address: Museum of Naval Aviation Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL 32508 Phone: (904) 452-3604 Emil Buehler Naval Aviation Library Museum of Naval Aviation Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL 32508-5402 Phone: (904) 452-8451 Fax: (904) 452-3296 Notes: Open 9-5 CST every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's; free. A spectacular museum for anyone interested in Navy, Marine, or Coast Guard aircraft from the dawn of naval aviation to the present. This place has to be seen to be believed. It was opened in 1962, more than doubled in size in 1990, and is currently undergoing another 50% expansion (to include an IMAX theater). There are over 100 planes on exhibit (most of which are indoors), including such rareties as the first Curtis pusher, the NC-4, a PBY, and a Zero. There is a great lighter than air section complete with a furnished gondola from a Navy Blimp and a section on the space program. To give an idea of the scale of the facility, there are four A-4s in Blue Angels trim hanging in the 7-story atrium. There are also outdoor exhibits that include large flying boats (Consolidated and Martin), transports, and other large aircraft. The quality of the aircraft restoration work and the displays are at least as good as the NASM, but things are spread out more so it is much more pleasant an experience. Much of the work is done by volunteers (Pensacola is the home to many retired Navy personnel), and the collection is increasing in size all the time. They have found a new source for WWII aircraft - they are fishing them out of Lake Michigan! Currently under restoration are a SBD-2 Dauntless (there are already three on display - two completely restored and one from Lake Michigan preserved as it was found in a remarkably effective exhibit simulating an underwater scene), a SB2U-2 Vindicator (none currently on display) and a TBD-1 Devastator (the only one in the world on dry land). (The TBD-1 is significant because its swan song was at Midway. The U.S. torpedo pilots who suffered such horrendous losses were flying these.) The library is open to the public and houses a large (and growing) collection of resources, including photo files, books, technical journals, maps, and plans, as well as special collections of donated personal papers, daries, etc. There is an online computer catalog of resources and a link to other "Online Computer Library Center" member instutions. There is also a well-stocked gift shop with a good selection of books and an assortment of models. In addition to the full-size aircraft, there are many models of aircraft scattered throughout the museum. There is a section devoted to aircraft carriers that includes many beautiful large scale models, the most spectacular of which is a 20-foot long builder's model of a WWII carrier constructed entirely of clear plexiglass (complete with every interior bulkhead and 50 or so F6Fs and TBMs). Amazing! For anyone whose interests run to naval aviation (or just to airplaces) this museum is highly recommended. It is especially helpful to be able to see the color schemes of the Navy's planes as they changed over time. For someone trying to model an aircraft painted in the spectacular (but somewhat puzzling to the uninitiated, as I was) pre-WWII colors, its an invaluable resource - there are probably half a dozen examples in the museum. It is also useful to see the same plane wearing different colors, e.g., Navy vs. Marine, or Navy pre-WWII vs WWII combat colors. The museum is home to a large model show and swap meet typically held in late November. (I do not know the dates for this year's event). Last year'e event included tours through the restoration facility. November 10-11 is also the Blue Angels' homecoming airshow. This is quite a show, but unbelievably crowded.
