Station briefing
About this museum
Harrington was Station 179, home of the 'Carpetbaggers' — black-painted B-24s dropping agents and supplies to the Resistance by moonlight; the museum in the original operations building covers Britain and America's secret air war, plus the site's later Thor missile chapter.
Sortie notes
Weekend afternoons in season; nearly as secret today as in 1944, per a satisfied local.
