AeroKnow Museum

For about eight years AeroKnow Museum was located in the FBO building at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, Springfield, Illinois.. The Museum's collections include more than 30,000 pictures (prints, negatives and transparencies) of aircraft and related subjects dating back to the 1910. Copies of photos are available to the public at large and to authors and publishers. The collection of thousands of built model aircraft (static display and flying models) and model aircraft kits includes examples dating back to the 30s, clipped articles about company histories and building techniques. Periodical literature from the USA, England, France, Italy, Soviet Union and Japan may be read and copied for personal use and publication. Also included are aircraft flight and maintenance manuals, commemorative postal cachets and covers, postcards, identification cards and slides, collectors' photo cards, and airline timetables.
