This military aircraft museum covers WWII through the US conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. The first aircraft hangar has been outfitted with exhibits on the Pearl Harbor attack, the Doolittle Raid on mainland Japan in 1942 and the pivotal Battle of Midway, when the tides of WWII in the Pacific turned in favor of the Allies.
Authentically restored planes on display here include a Japanese Zero and a Dauntless navy dive bomber. Walk next door to explore the MiG Alley Korean War exhibit or take a guided tour to look behind the scenes at restoration work in Hangar 79's replica WWII-era maintenance shop.
To visit the museum, board the mandatory Ford Island visitor shuttle bus (bring photo ID) outside the visitor center's Aloha Court.
