==History==
The museum dates to 1923 when the Engineering Division at Dayton's McCook Field first collected technical artifacts for preservation. In 1927 it moved to then-Wright Field in a laboratory building. In 1932 the collection was named the Army Aeronautical Museum and placed in a WPA building from 1935 until WWII. In 1948 the collection remained private as the Air Force Technical Museum. In 1954 the Air Force Museum became public and was housed in its first permanent facility, Building 89 of the former Patterson Field in Fairborn, which had been an engine overhaul hangar. Many of its aircraft were parked outside and exposed to the weather. It remained there until 1971 when the current facility first opened. Not including its annex on Wright Field proper, the museum has more than tripled in square footage since its inception in 1971.〔Air Force Museum Foundation〕
The museum announced a new name for the facility in October 2004. The former name, ''United States Air Force Museum'' changed to ''National Museum of the United States Air Force''.〔
The museum is a central component of the National Aviation Heritage Area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aviationheritagearea.org/ )〕
