Dunkeswell Memorial Museum

"MANY RETURNED HOME, SOME STAYED FOREVER, NONE WILL BE FORGOTTEN"

Dunkeswell Memorial Museum is dedicated to all the Veterans of United States Fleet Air Wing 7 and RAF personnel who served on the only American Navy air base commissioned on UK soil during World War II.

The USN FAW7 was operational from mid 1943 to the end of European hostilities in 1945. Through the perseverance of a small group of people who became fascinated by what history happened here sixty years ago, the museum now gives the opportunity for visitors of all ages to discover the importance and very special roles that the American servicemen of US Navy Base Dunkeswell played during World War 2
