WWII Encampment

Overview

Individuals and groups from across Delmarva representing units of the US Army, Air Forces and Women’s services will converge on Dover AFB to celebrate the proud heritage of the U.S. military during WWII. The encampment area will consist of period vehicles, squad tents, historical displays and the equipment of airmen and the ground troops they supported. All reenactors will be representing a unit that is related to an aircraft or exhibit at the AMC Museum, with the intention of bringing history to life through that personal connection. Visitors will get the chance to interact with exhibits, watch demonstrations presented by reenactors, have their photos taken in period vehicles and receive a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the history of their United States armed forces, particularly the Air Force. The encampment coincides with the AMCM Open Cockpit Day on 17 May so that visitors have the best opportunity to explore the museum’s aircraft. All to create the best possible immersive and fun experience for the guests of the AMC Museum.
