The CAF Missouri Wing is a group of dedicated volunteers that maintain & teach the public about WWII aviation! Our mission is to educate, inspire, and honor through flight & living history experiences. We have a B-25 Mitchell, TBM Avenger, & an L3 Grasshopper along with our museum. We are located just 15 minutes north of St. Charles City!

It began with a single plane.

Lloyd Nolen and a small group of ex-service pilots from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas pooled their money to purchase a P-51 Mustang in 1957. They formed a loosely defined organization to share the pleasure and expense of maintaining the Mustang.

A short while later, the group added a pair of F8F Bearcats to the P-51 Mustang. At this point, the mission of the CAF became clear: save an example of every aircraft that flew during World War II ~ a mission no one else was undertaking.

What started as a hobby became an urgent objective to preserve history.
