During World War II, a groundbreaking unit of African American women in the U.S. Army made history while overcoming racism, sexism, and the challenges of war. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight, was the only all-Black, all-female unit to be deployed overseas during WWII. Their mission was both crucial and daunting: to clear a massive backlog of undelivered mail that had piled up in Europe, delaying vital communication between soldiers and their loved ones.
Two great presentations at the American Heritage Museum this Saturday: Baker Company, 21st Marines, and 3rd Navy Medical Battalion re-enactors will have a presentation and table displays of equipment, weapons, and gear to educate the public on the Battle of Iwo Jima that took place February 19- March 26, 1945.![]()

Imagine soaring high over the iconic White Cliffs of Dover at the controls of a Supermarine Spitfire just like the heroic pilots defending England during the harrowing days of the Battle of Britain in 1940. Or crossing the expanse of the English Channel in your P-40 Warhawk, returning from ground attack missions in occupied France. Then, fly in the Cadillac of all fighters – the legendary P-51D Mustang. You’ll experience all three if you are the winner of the Ultimate World War II Fighter Experience Sweepstakes supporting the American Heritage Museum of Stow, Massachusetts!
The winner will fly the dual-control Supermarine TR.9 Spitfire and dual-control Curtiss TP-40N Warhawk, and fly in the passenger seat of the North American P-51D Mustang through the skies over the English Channel from historic Biggin Hill Airfield near London, England! The winner will receive a $2000 travel allowance for airfare and lodging.
The winner of the Ultimate World War II Fighter Experience Sweepstakes will be drawn on Friday, July 29th, 2022 – so enter to win today!
