SUMMARY:World War One & Aviation Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The American Heritage Museum presents the World War One and Aviation Event Weekend at our museum and airfield in Hudson / Stow\, MA! \nReal aviation history takes to the skies each day* with flying demonstrations combined with presentations by historians and restorers for our featured aircraft: \nThe original 1918 Nieuport 28 WWI fighter – America’s First Fighter. This incredible aircraft is the oldest flying American fighter in existence and is restored in the markings of Douglas Campbell\, America’s first ace.\nDemonstration & talk from 11:00am-12:00pm each day. \nThe 1933 Waco UIC that is a survivor of the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7\, 1941. This aircraft was owned and flown by Bob Tyce\, a flight instructor and the first civilian casualty of the attack when he was strafed by Japanese aircraft on the airport ramp near the Waco.\nDemonstration & talk from 12:00pm-12:45pm each day. \nThe original 1944 Piper L-4 Grasshopper “Rosie the Rocketer” that was flown by Maj. Charles Carpenter in a role it was never designed for… attacking German tanks! This incredible “David vs. Goliath” story is one you don’t want to miss!\nDemonstration & talk on both the L-4 & L-5 from 12:45pm-1:45pm each day. \n The 1944 Stinson L-5 Sentinel that is a Pacific War veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and was present during the Battle of Okinawa. This unique air ambulance variant can convert to hold a stretcher in the rear seat.\nDemonstration & talk on both the L-4 & L-5 from 12:45pm-1:45pm each day. \nIn addition to the flying displays\, WWI & WWII re-enactor camps will be set up showcasing this history. \n* All flight demonstrations are weather and wind dependent and forecast conditions on Saturday may not allow flights.
