What to expect

A Douglas C-47 attached to the building recalls the Berlin Airlift. Inside, a Junkers Ju 52 stands near a Halberstadt CL.IV converted for passenger work; a damaged Ju 87 and a cutaway Ju 88 put wartime technology in context. Some exhibits are wreckage or sections, not complete airframes.
