The Tree Top Terror! That’s what Japanese ground forces called Marine Corps PBJ and Army Air Force B-25 medium bombers as they rampaged at very low altitudes across the Southwest Pacific from 1943 onward. Given the leeway by accommodating leadership to test and evaluate different tactics and armament configurations in the field, that’s just what they did. Come experience living history as CAF SoCal conducts a presentation on the varying tactics and armament used by PBJ units as they constantly adjusted to operational needs and enemy counter-tactics. We’ll also open our magnificent PBJ-1J, which took 23 years to restore to flying condition, so you can tour the inside of the aircraft

CAF Southern California Wing
The CAF Southern California Wing is a volunteer organization with members from many different backgrounds. The wing is dedicated to preserving the history of WWII aircraft for generations to come. This CAF location is assigned 12 authentic military aircraft that are maintained and operated by their volunteers. In addition to flying aircraft, the wing also has a wide-ranging collection of World War II artifacts displayed in a Hangar Museum. Due to COVID restrictions, their opening hours are Friday and Saturday, 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday, 12 PM to 4 PM. They are closed on Monday-Thursday and some holidays. The newly expanded wing at over 55,000 square feet includes three hangar complexes to house their museum, flying aircraft, warbird restorations, and gift shop.
