COMMONWEALTH AIR TRAINING PLAN WWII MUSEUM
www.airmuseum.ca
Brandon Location: Brandon Airport ~ McGill Field ~ HW 10 North

Welcome to the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum The CATP Museum is a non-profit, charitable organization founded and operated by volunteers. The Museum is dedicated to the preservation of the history of the British  Commonwealth Air Training Plan and serves as a unique memorial to those airmen who trained and served, and especially those who died, while serving their country in the air war of 1939-1945. This is the only Museum in the world dedicated solely to this goal and we think it is fitting that it is located in Manitoba where so much of the training was carried out.
