Museum of Flight: World War II airplane models (photo diary)

The Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, is the largest independent, non-profit air and space museum in the world. Like most airplane museums, the Museum of Flight includes displays of model airplanes to illustrate the history of flight.

According to the museum:

“Although it lasted only a few years, World War II involved hundreds of different types of aircraft and was the most prolific period of airplane production ever. Dozens of countries ultimately became combatants in the war and of these, many flew military aircraft. This collection of 1/72 scale models represents over 400 of these aircraft, probably the most complete collection of its kind. These models were constructed by Dr. Logan Holtgrewe over a period of seven years.”
