National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force

Very impressive. A lot of exhibits, all well done. The B-17 is awesome. For me, the highlight is the memorial garden and chapel. Beautiful and sobering.

This is a must visit. Lots of items in this museum you only can see here. More Air Force items than the WWII Museum. Complete history of all the bomb groups and fighter groups. Well displayed. You need 3-4 hours to see it all. We stopped by while in Savannah on our way to Florida.

Absolutly wonderful staff, and even volunteer staff, they were willing to talk with you, explain all that was in the museum, give personal stories, that move you learning how it correlates to the musems purpose. The museum really emerces you in the videos they showed you. It has flashing lights fans to simulate wind multiple screens every angle the camera gave, showing you while being emerced in it, part of our history. I absolutely would love if they could teach the same way they emerce you here with knowledge. They get it to really stick with you.

The volunteers were very informative with their information. If you’re watching Masters of the Air, you will really enjoy this experience. Don’t miss the chapel and the stained glass.

Our family came to visit on a Thursday morning with our home school group and got a guided tour. It was Awesome, our guide was very nice, knowledgeable, and entertaining and we are actually looking forward to coming back in the future. There is Sooooo much to see, do, and learn and you can easily spend the day here looking around, learning and reading all the posted stories and listening to the Volunteers. We are Very excited to see the expansion get underway and hopefully completed by sometime in 2025 so we can come back again to enjoy it all over again.

Great place to visit. It is a must place to see for the family or just yourself. Appreciate & honor our fallen heroes men & women. Form the outside looks small, but pretty big & you still have the outside to do.

Nice and detailed museum talking about the great army aviation unit that heroically operated during WWII. They have very rich artifacts and relics related to the unit and the history of WWII Europe bombardment operations. The mission briefing secession is a must go, worth the time. And they said they are planning for a renew of the museum next year or later, definitely will be back after that.

wonderful museum!
I’m truck driver and
I stopped in Savannah because my truck broke down, I decided to visit this aviation museum while my was in repair,and I am very glad that I did it!
Very interesting and educational!
I recommend for visiting!
Thank you)

We went for the stem day. It was so much fun. The exhibits are great. My favorite was the replica house of the resistance. It was so imersive and interesting. The planes are really cool. The memorial gardens are beautiful.

Air force veteran? Military buff? History buff? Just love seeing cool old planes? This museum covers all those bases and more! Well thought out and emotionally moving from the second you pass the ticket counter. The gentleman that were in the museum explaining the parts of the plane were excellent (big shout out to Marvin!) Plan on spending some time here, we spent about 4 hours and still missed a few things. The memorial gardens out back are beautiful, the replica church is amazing.

Awesome museum, if you have any interest in WW2 you will be in heaven. The restored B-17 is breathtaking. The docents (the ones I met are veterans, not sure if all are?) do a great job. Highly recommend!!!

Very nice museum. The best preserved B-17 bomber of the US!
Even if you are not an Air Force enthusiastic it will be a very interesting visit to understand the WWII history.
It simulates a bombing mission including the briefing and preparation. Very immersive and interesting.
If you are visiting Savannah do not kiss this place. All the staff is very nice and passionate. Lot of very interesting stories and anecdotes from them!!!

I am traveling around Americas and Europe. If you want to know lots of very interesting places follow me in Google.

I have driven past this museum on several occasions and on spotting the B47 parked outside the building thought that I should go there one day. This was the day and I am so pleased we made the time. It is quite extraordinary. As a person of British origin but now a US citizen, this relates to both "my" pasts and brings them together to tell a story of extraordinary heroism, sacrifice and achievement. I used to fly in the UK and often would fly above the remnants of old WW2 airfields, both British and US, made plain by the standard triangle of runways or at least their remnants in fields that have been reclaimed by nature or farmers. Just as when one flies in that corner of South East England that is the hallowed airspace where the Battle of Britain was fought, so as you pass over these fields or visit them to see little memorials on the ground, there is a feeling that brave men did great deeds which we still benefit from. There is part of one of the displays that lights up to show where all the Eighth Airforce related establishments were. You can see why they needed so many of them as the Eighth grew from nine officers to over three hundred thousand officers and enlisted men. This museum tells their stories. It speaks to both the glory and tragedy that comes from modern warfare and clearly details how the Mighty Eighth contributed to the downfall of the Axis powers in Europe. It tells the story on both a grand and a personal scale. For me the succession of A2 aircrew jackets with artwork on the back in so many display cases feel like something I could relate to easily. I bought one back in the 80s, a very good one made to exactly the same specification as those in WW2 and they are a very personal garment. Each of those was worn by a very brave man, many of whom would have to conquer their fears anew each time as they got into their planes for the long ride ahead into some of the most tenaciously defended airspace in the world. They would have to do these twenty-five to thirty times before they could go back home and those first few missions had appalling odds of survival.

Please go to this museum, it is an essential part of US and free world history. It is worth stopping at and not driving by and I for one am so pleased we pulled in.

Well worth while. Easy on/off from I95. Senior rates too. Very interesting. We only had 2 hours to explore. Probably need 4-5 if you really wanted to see everything.

Definitely a great museum! There is something around every corner and it's filled with amazing history and artifacts. We spent 3 hours exploring the museum, but you could definitely spend longer.

If you love military history and are anywhere near Savannah, swing over to Pooler and stop in to the Mighty 8th. You won't regret it. The timeline walk-thru is incredible, and the displays are well thought out and so informative. They have a way of making you feel like you were there, with the movies and room set-ups. If it is a nice day, take a walk in the garden & visit the chapel. The Chapel reminded us of our time in England. The stained glass is breathtaking. This is hands down, one of my favorite museums! Oh and to top it off, everyone that we interacted with that works there was so friendly. My kids love the gift shop.

This review will be a bit biased as im a massive WWII nut but you need to visit this place. This is one of the coolest and most in depth Air Force museums I’ve ever seen. The detail is incredible and the artifacts not the mention planes on display are incredible. It took quite a few hours to walk through so i would recommend coming early. There are many exhibits so be sure not to burn yourself out quickly. If you are blown away by what our military did during the great war this is a must see

Great history of the Mighty Eighth. Lots of displays. Excellent place to visit. Allow at least 1.5 hours to thoroughly enjoy your experience. Today was my second visit and the museum was as awesome as ever!

Great museum to see the impact of bombers in the European theater of WWII...while you could spend all day...I would say on average 2-2.5 hours would be sufficient for most people.
