Our museum depends on donations from patriotic friends like you to spotlight and
celebrate the special bonds between America and Britain forged through years of
conflict and triumph. We also count on your help to properly honor the nearly
30,000 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend freedom while flying
from World War II airfields in Britain.
Join others getting in on today’s matching gift opportunity and support our
vital mission of remembrance and education:

Lonnie Mosely , who was a 23-year-old flying from Duxford—now home to the American Air
Museum—when he was shot down over Nazi-occupied France on July 4, 1944. Moseley
avoided capture for weeks before being rescued and returning to Duxford, where
he told fellow airmen about his, “One hell of a way to spend the 4th of July!” Jack ReVelle, whose job as a US Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer included
disarming a thermonuclear bomb after it smashed into a North Carolina field due
to a B-52 crash. Had the bomb exploded, Jack estimated it would have had a 100%
kill radius of 17 miles. Lee Carson left college at age 16 to become a reporter and served as a War Correspondent
for the International News Service starting in 1943. Carson rode in jeeps with
the US Army, reported on French resistance to the Nazi occupation, and filed
reports on the Battle of the Bulge. She was a tremendous storyteller whose story
lives on at our museum.It would be a shame for Lonnie, Jack, Lee, and countless other heroes to be lost
to history. You can make sure that never happens by joining the American Air Museum in
Britain with your most generous tax-deductible gift now.

tonight.
Thank you,
Brandon P. Gregory
Executive Director
American Air Museum in Britain
P.S. Next year will bring the 80th anniversaries of D-Day and the start of the
Battle of the Bulge. We have big plans for marking those milestones and honoring
the American airmen involved. But we need your help to move forward.
