Just down the road from Washington, DC, is the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia Triangle. Here, they tell the story of The Corps, from its founding to its future. Dr Larry Burke is the aviation curator, and he showed us what goes into telling the tale of Marine Corps aviation before handing off to the arms and armor curator, my buddy Jon Bernstein, to show us the gems in the rest of the museum.
