The Commemorative Air Force Jayhawk Wing supports Home Schooling.  We have a program called the "VETERANS LECTURESHIP". 

It is about an hour long program where we open up our hangar or come to your site to have the students listen to and visit with living history, the World War II Veteran. 

At present we have three World War II combat pilots that share their stories after a short video.
If the lecture takes place in our hangar.  There will be actual World War II aircraft setting in the hangar and creates an atmosphere of  hands on learning.  If we come to your site things will be done a little different and can be adjusted to your time schedule.  There will be picture, artifacts and other items these men brought back. 

Dr. Smith, a combat B-17 combat pilot, saved a peace of anti-aircraft shrapnel from a flack burst that hit his airplane.  He found it under his seat and he said from that day forward he sat on a flack jacket!  Dr. Smith has many combat pictures and other items the students will want to look at and hear the story behind them.

Charles Chauncey, a B-29 combat pilot, flew the B-29 GOIN' JESSIE, on bombing missions over Japan during the Pacific theater of the war.  He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and many other commendations and medals.  A normal single ship mission could last 18 hours.  We lost many planes and men lost their lives on these bombing missions.  See his B-29 model airplane which would be on display.  He has a stand alone lecture called "THE MOST DANGEROUS MISSION".  Great for adult meetings, organizations and gatherings!

Al Murphy, a combat B-17 combat pilot, flew in the European theater during World War II.  After a bombing mission his B-17 bomber lost it's engines and he and the crew had to bail out over hostile territory.  His story of how he gets shot at by the enemy and his eventual escape back to the American lines will have you setting on the edge of your seat.  Mr. Murphy also was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and many other medals and commendations during his service to our country during World War II.  

These men are heroes!   LEST WE FORGET...
