During Operation LUftwaffe Secret TechnologY (or “LUSTY”) from 1945 to 1946, the U.S. military studied captured enemy aircraft for their scientific advancements at Freeman Field, where the planes were dissected, crushed, and finally buried. Today, you hold a piece of history: vintage data plates from WWII-era aircraft and components have been riveted onto aircraft aluminum salvaged from Operation LUSTY.
