World War II is, for me, the "best" war of the twentieth century. An incomprehensible human tragedy measured in millions of lives lost, and starring some of the most vile and evil regimes in modern history, it was a war where the United States was on the side of the good guys and changed the course of history for the better. It was in many ways the period in history that showed the best of who we are as a country.
The Palm Springs Air Museum is focused on the WWII period of aviation and has some wonderful planes and exhibits. Many of the docents are veterans of WWII and Korea and add to the experience immensely. This museum had many planes where you could sit in the cockpit or the navigators station and really picture what it was like to fly them.
