Add to SetSummary
The Henry Ford acquired its Douglas DC-3 airplane in 1975 and, due to its size, the plane was displayed outside Henry Ford Museum for 27 years. The centennial of flight provided an opportunity to move the DC-3 indoors. The plane was conserved in 2002 and then installed in the museum's Heroes of the Sky exhibit in 2003.
