The Hangar Project
The Great War Flying Museum has a mission to educate
people about the early years of aviation, and the people
that built and flew the aircraft. The period that we
have focused on is The Great War (1914-1918), which
saw incredible advances in aviation, with the airplane
evolving from a luxury toy to a crucial weapon of war,
thus changing not only warfare, but transportation and
travel forever.
We have a flying fleet of seven aircraft, with one
under construction. We also plan to continue building
aircraft, and to expand the sights and sounds that can
be experienced. These wood and fabric aircraft can not
be stored outside, and must be protected during the
winter. Currently, we are facing a shortage of hanger
space.
The Museum is a 100% volunteer organization, and money
comes from air show appearances and the donations visitors
to the museum. We are launching an appeal to everyone
to help us build a hanger. Donations of $25 or more
from any Canadian is tax deductible. Please donate and
assist us in preserving, and expanding, our fleet of
aircraft.
A PAYPAL account has been created to assist you in
sending in your donation. For Canadians, donating $25
or more, please include in the Note, the name for the
tax receipt and mailing address. Your support is greatly
appreciated.
Please use the e-mail address info@greatwarflyingmuseum.com
as the address to send the donation to.
Thank you.
