Confederate Air Force

Photographs and text illustrate the history and operations of the Texas-based Confederate Air Force which operates a fleet of over 100 historically significant aircraft that cover both allied and axis air forces of World War 2. Founded in the mid-1960s to preserve historically significant aircraft, the Confederate Air Force (CAF) has carved itself a niche in American aeronautical history for its commitment to recreating historical air battles from World War 2 for all to enjoy. Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Britain and the Battle of Germany are just some of the set pieces regularly performed by the CAF's burgeoning fleet of priceless warbirds. Mustangs and Spitfires dogfight with Messerschmitts and Heinkels; Hellcats and Corsairs scrap with Zeros and Val dive bombers. Behemoth B-17s and B-29s loom overhead and with the aid of pyrotechnics, bomb Nazi Texas into submission once again. A proud and historically minded organization, the CAF continues to grow year by year.
