The Military Aviation Museum is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and houses one of the world's largest private collections of warbirds in flying condition. It includes examples from Germany, France, Italy, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, from both World War I and World War II. The collection contains aircraft ranging from the 1910s to the early 1950s.
The museum's work includes the preservation and restoration of the aircraft, and it also conducts live demonstrations of the aircraft in the form of twice-yearly airshows. The collection includes both a reference library as well as artifacts and materials to illustrate the historic context of the aircraft in the collection.
