World War II Harley. Check out those nice metal leg shields with the cool bead roll all around. Never saw those before. Bet they were nice to have in the winter!

The infamous 88mm Flak. The museum also has a fire director to couple with this gun, I really wish they would choose to display this as well.




Bearing and elevation controls on the gun. The range control is on the other side.

Clearly the way these aircraft are displayed allows the viewer to see many dramatic angles on the equipment.
