HISTORY
An important part of the World War II Airborne Demonstration Team’s
mission is to research and record the history behind the major
Airborne Operations of WWII and to help keep the actions and
achievements associated with them alive for future generations. This way
they should get a better feel for and understand what took place. Part
of the Team’s goal is to make this information readily accessible to the
largest audience possible through this website and our attendance and
commemorative events around the globe.
A key element of this strategy is represented by the “living museum”
that spectators can experience when they attend demonstration parachute
jump. In addition, the developing Frederick Base Camp and Museum will
also allow visitors to get a close up look at the team and see first
hand some of the equipment, facilities and aircraft that were used
during WWII.
However, presenting and communicating the information that we are able
to accumulate from a variety of sources, including our Legacy Members,
will, over time, create a unique record of the airborne activities of
World War II. Our team members are always willing to participate in
communicating this whenever and wherever it is practical to do so.
