Wing’s Museum of WWII Memorabilia – St. Charles, MO hosts the aircraft of the CAF of Missouri.
In July of 1980, 25 dedicated World War II aviation enthusiasts formed a squadron of the C.A.F. in St. Louis, Missouri. One year later, the squadron was granted wing status and became the 25th C.A.F. Wing.
The Missouri Wing moved from Spirit of St. Louis Airport to its current facility at St. Charles County Smartt Airport on February 1, 1984.
An additional hangar was built in 1995 to better accommodate "Show Me". There are three World War II aircraft presently assigned to the Missouri Wing:
North American B-25J Medium Bomber
Grumman TBM-3E Torpedo Bomber
Aeronca L-3 Observation Plane
The wing membership is over 180 members. General monthly meetings are held at 10:30 AM on the second Saturday of each month at Smartt Field. The public is always welcome.
The CAF-Missouri Wing is a patriotic organization dedicated to the restoration and preservation of all World War II aircraft and their heritage. The wing currently maintains, in flying condition, a B-25 "Mitchell" bomber, a TBM "Avenger" Torpedo bomber, and an L-3 observation aircraft, New members are welcome.
