I have been working in Savannah, GA. this past week and the next couple of weeks. Today I actually had the day off, so I figured I would check out the Mighty 8th Air Force museum here and see what they had.

My favorite items that they had dispalyed were the old bombers jackets with the logos for each bomber group on the back. They also had a B-52, P-51 mustang and a german fighter on display there. It kinda surprised me just how small the B-52 was. Seeing the areas where a gunner would sit were really small, especially the tail gunner. I would have thought that the plane was somewhat bigger. A whole new respect for them guys that flew in these plans and fought the enemy. My hats off to them.

I attached a few photos of the museum so everyone can see whats in the museum and enjoy some of the history behind the 8th Air force.

Enjoy!
