Yankee Memories

摘要

Amuseum filled with artifacts of the United States at war now stands an ocean away from U.S. soil. It is the American Air Museum in Britain, which opened in 1997 at Duxford Airfield, about 50 miles north of London. The museum is an addition to one that had been established earlier at Duxford to display aircraft and other large exhibits of the London-based Imperial War Museum. The new facility is architecturally distinct; at the rear you see only a slight rise where the building wells up gently from the surrounding hillside, but at the front it looks like a dramatic, glass-fronted hangar.
