 will feature historically sequenced formations representing the war’s
major battles – from the Battle of Britain through the final air assault on
Japan.

More than 20 different types of vintage military aircraft are scheduled to
fly in formations beginning over the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The airshow is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. EDT with planes flying in
two-minute intervals over the skies of the nation’s capital. The
commemoration is expected to last approximately 70 minutes.

As a principle organizer of this historic event, the Commemorative Air Force
<http://www.commemorativeairforce.org/> – the world’s largest flying museum
– will send 18 warbirds from 13 units across seven states to participate:

   - *B-29 Superfortress **FIFI: *One of only two B-29 Heavy Bombers still
   flying*.*
   - *C-47 **That’s All, Brother*: Led the formation of 800 aircraft from
   which 13,000 U.S. paratroopers jumped during the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
   - *P-51 Mustang **Tuskegee Airmen*: Long range fighter-bomber made
   famous by the inspirational stories of the African-American pilots who flew
   them.
   - *B-17 Flying Fortress **Sentimental Journey*: Flew bombing missions
   over Europe throughout the war. One of only five B-17s around the world
   still actively flying.
   - *T-6 Texan** Nella*: Flown by the Women Airforce Service Pilots –
   America’s first female military aviators and the “spiritual grandmothers”
   to today’s female pilots.
