About Mid Atlantic Air Museum

The Mid Atlantic Air Museum in Reading preserves World War II aviation history through its collection of restored aircraft and artifacts. Visitors explore vintage planes including fighters, bombers, transport aircraft, and training aircraft displayed in hangars. The museum features The Widow's Web P-61, a significant piece of the collection, alongside other museum artifacts that document the era. The centerpiece event is the annual World War II Weekend, which brings together period aircraft, reenactors, and special guest speakers—many of them military veterans from combat operations in both the Pacific and European theaters. Visitors can meet these veterans, hear their firsthand accounts, and obtain autographs. The museum also hosts a 1940s Hangar Dance and offers opportunities to fly aboard museum aircraft. Members gain unlimited admission during regular business hours and can participate in volunteering across museum operations and special events. The attraction suits history enthusiasts and families interested in aviation heritage and World War II history.
