Mickey at the National Air Force Museum

**roxie** · 04-02-2006

We went to the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio on Friday. My DH and oldest DS love military planes. It was a really nice museum....the whole family enjoyed it. But I had an especially good time when I noticed a whole section devoted to Walt Disney!

Did you know that Walt Disney commisioned his artists to design the wartime insignes during WWII? You know, the logos and art that the different divisions had for their units?

I had no idea. I thought you might like to see some of it....

Here is a quote from Walt on display in the museum...

This one was actually painted on a plane. This is the panel from that plane on display. They had alot of these - it was really neat.

I would absolutely love to get out to Ohio! Being in the Air Force myself, I'm a nut for all that! One of our guys in our shop here at Westover ARB in Massachusetts moved out to Wright Patterson a few years ago, and said the museum is the best he's ever seen!

Great photos Roxie.

I've seen some of Walt's military art, but not in person. Thanks for sharing!!
