WWII VETERANS - "UNCLE MAAM" NEEDS YOU!
If you are interested in being a special guest at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum’s World War Weekend in future years please contact the museum in writing via email not later than October 1st for consideration at the following June event so that we may create a contact file. The event is always held the first FULL weekend in June each year.
Special guests are considered for autographs, book or print signings, and as speakers regarding their military or war-effort experiences. Thank-you.
