Mission
The group does not glorify or condone war, far from it. But for many, it fills a patriotic need as well as showcases for a younger generation the reasons their fathers or grandfathers fought and what they accomplished.

The
Army Air Forces Historical Association® consists of volunteers from all
walks of life who share a common interest - a desire to help preserve

chance to share their memories with a younger generation.
