The Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum, located at Creve Coeur Airport in Maryland Heights, Missouri, United States, is dedicated to restoring and preserving historical aircraft. The airplanes in the collection are all fabric-covered, and most are biplanes from the inter-war years (the "Golden age of flight").[1] The museum's volunteers maintain most of these aircraft in full working order.[2]
Collection
[edit]The museum collection concentrates on civil aircraft from the inter-war years, with most of the aircraft originating from 1916 to 1946.[3] There are several Waco biplanes, with the oldest of these types being a WACO 10, which was built in 1928.[4] The oldest airplane on display is a Standard J-1[1] that was built in 1917 and was used in the movies The Rocketeer and The Great Waldo Pepper.
Several of the preserved aircraft are the only surviving airworthy examples of their type.
