Propeller Aircraft Gallery
From piston-engined warplanes like the F4F Wildcat, SBD Dauntless, TBM Avenger, F4U Corsair, and A-1 Skyraider, to the turbo-prop E-2 Hawkeye, our tactical aircraft from the propeller era help bring to life the history of carrier aviation. Support aircraft like our SNJ Texan and C-1 Trader depict the utilitarian side of shipboard flying, while a restored O-1 Birddog, in South Vietnamese markings, recounts the drama of the Midway’s rescue efforts during the fall of Saigon.
