My Visit to the National Air Force Museum

A few weeks ago I visited the National Air Force Museum. It was my first time visiting a museum. I really liked visiting.  I happened to visit the WWII exhibit. The exhibit was really informational. Among the artifacts that I liked was the V-2 missile. I liked the description of it provided in the information panel. I would commend the museum staff for accurately describing the missile. I never knew that over 4,000 fatalities caused by the V-2 rockets in Belgium and England. I also learned about the heroics of brave U.S. airmen. One of them was a pilot by the name James McLaughlin. He was part of the 362nd air division that was on a successful mission in Germany. The fighter group that he was on successfully destroyed a bridge. Another exhibit that caught my attention was a Norwegian turned U.S. colonel Bernt Balchen. He rescued the crew off a B-17 "My Gal Sal." The exhibit showed artifacts recovered from the plane including a gas mask and a sentant. It was severely corroded, caused by chemical action from badly decomposed batteries. There was a mess kit which the panel described as for heating food over an open panel. The third artifact in the collection was Bombsight stabilizer unit artifact which was part of the nose of the plane. Showed pictures of Bernt and his rescue crew. 
The exhibit that I really liked was the little boy exhibit. The little Boy was the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima  What I liked was the objectivity of the museum in describing the reasons behind the bombing. The museum did not give any hint of bias. It also gave a detailed description of what type of atomic bomb it was. I also liked the educational video on the Japanese kamikaze pilots. I did not know that there were over 4,000 deaths.
