Flying Heritage Collection
www.flyingheritage.com
The aircraft contained within the Flying Heritage Collection are rare treasures of 20th-century military aviation. They are a testament to the era's keen craftsmanship and engineering innovation, but more importantly, they pay tribute to humanity's struggle and spirit during the difficult years of World War II and the Cold War era. In 1998, Paul G. Allen began acquiring and preserving these iconic warriors and workhorses, many of which are the last of their kind. Allen's passion for aviation and history, and his awareness of the increasing rarity of original vintage aircraft, motivated him to restore these artifacts to the highest standard of authenticity and share them with the public. As part of the Flying Heritage Collection, their destiny is to return once more to the sky, where they were always meant to be.
