Statue of a naval airman sponsored by the museum. When NAS Glenview closed in 1995, plans were made to redevelop the former property into the Glen Town Center. [1] The Glenview Hangar One Foundation was founded by A. C. Realie in 1996 to preserve the eponymous 180,000 sq ft (17,000 m 2) hangar and turn it into a museum.
The museum built a 3,000 sq ft (280 m 2) addition around 2013. It expanded again circa 2021, adding another 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m 2 ) and allowing the museum to consolidate the collection from seven hangars to one.
The museum is housed in the Curtiss Wright Hangar number two at St. Louis Downtown Airport, Cahokia Heights, Illinois. The adjacent Hangar one and two are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [1] The Hangar was completed in March 1930 on the newly opened Curtiss-Stienburg airport.
The museum was founded by Gerald Oliver, Jr. in 1981 at Capital Airport in Springfield, Illinois around plans to restore a B-25 using parts recovered from Alabama. [1] [2] It briefly included a second chapter in Bloomington, before that organization split off to form the Prairie Aviation Museum in 1983. [3]
