点评:he Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum is for anyone interested in the history of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The museum has examples of the planes involved including the P-40 Warhawk, the f4F Wildcat, and 2 Mitsubishi Zeroes. One of the Zeroes is flyable. The other is what's left of the Zero that made a forced landing on the island of Ni'ihau.
For an extra fee, you can go the top of the airport control tower. From there, you can see all of Pearl Harbor, while guides point out the places where particular actions took place.
The museum's best known exhibit is "Swamp Ghost", a B-17, which made a forced landing in a swamp in New Guinea. The crew, who survived, named the wreck "Swamp Ghost". It will probably never be restored, but in its battered condition it is a fitting tribute to the air crews who faced so many hardships.
Museum staff is helpful and happy to answer questions. Your fellow visitors can also be a source of information. One of the people I met there had been ground crew for one of the planes on exhibit; not just the same type of plane, but the actual item in the museum's collection.
Ford Island, where the museum is located, is part of a working military base. There are strict rules about what you can and cannot bring; check for current details. To get to the museum, you take a bus from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center run by the National Park Service. There is some paid parking at the Visitor Center. We arrived early and easily found parking, but I don't know about later in the day.
翻译:珍珠港航空博物馆适合所有对珍珠港袭击历史感兴趣的人。博物馆内展出了参与袭击的飞机,包括P-40战鹰战斗机、F4F野猫战斗机和两架三菱零式战斗机。其中一架零式战斗机可以飞行,另一架是迫降在尼豪岛的零式战斗机残骸。
您可以额外付费登上机场控制塔的顶部。在那里,您可以俯瞰整个珍珠港,同时导游会为您讲解特定行动发生的地点。
博物馆最著名的展品是“沼泽幽灵”,这是一架B-17轰炸机,它在新几内亚的一片沼泽中迫降。幸存的机组人员将残骸命名为“沼泽幽灵”。它可能永远无法修复,但其残破不堪的状态,是对那些经历了如此艰辛的机组人员的恰如其分的致敬。
博物馆工作人员乐于助人,并乐于解答您的疑问。您的其他游客也可以成为信息来源。我在那里遇到的一个人曾是其中一架展出飞机的地勤人员;这架飞机不仅是同一型号,而且是博物馆藏品中实际的飞机。
博物馆所在的福特岛是一个军事基地的一部分。对于可以携带和不可以携带的物品有严格的规定;请查看最新规定。要前往博物馆,您可以从国家公园管理局运营的珍珠港游客中心乘坐巴士。游客中心有一些付费停车位。我们到得早,很容易就找到了停车位,但我不知道当天晚些时候情况如何。
