On static display in the tank arena at FHCAM you will see M4A1 Sherman Medium Tank, M3A1 Half-Track Personnel Carrier, Ford GPW Jeep, M5A4 High-Speed Tractor. As you journey through FHCAM’s expansive hangars on this fun filled day, you won’t want to miss our latest interactive exhibit, Why War: The Causes of Conflict. This one of a kind exhibit examines the major wars the United States has been involved in, exploring common causes and roots of military confrontations. Featuring large-scale touchscreens, conflict simulators, full-scale replica atomic bombs, and personal histories, visitors can choose how they want to explore the complex topic of war in an engaging and easy to understand way. Be sure to catch an engaging round table discussion with the Washington Pilot's Association at 11:00 AM at FHCAM!
