HONORING the AMERICAN SPIRIT
Under these wings... We preserve American history
We educate generations • We inspire community
Welcome to the B-17 Alliance Foundation—home of the Lacey Lady, our historic B-17 bomber under restoration, and a living museum that honors the Greatest Generation through education, preservation, and volunteerism. Whether you’re here to support the rebuild, engage with our educational programs, or step into WWII history, we invite you to be part of something extraordinary.
This is more than a nonprofit—it’s a living tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and innovation of those who served our country.
Returning the Lacey Lady to flight
Help us bring the Lacey Lady back to life. One of the last B-17 bombers of her kind, she’s being restored piece by piece by dedicated volunteers. Each rivet, wire, and panel tells a story of resilience. By joining our restoration team or donating to the cause, you are playing a direct role in preserving one of America’s most iconic aircraft.
Inspire Students
Our student programs and school tours connect kids with hands-on aviation history and STEM learning opportunities. We offer experiences that spark curiosity, teach critical thinking, and open up a world of historical understanding. It’s more than a field trip—it’s a transformational learning journey that stays with students long after they leave.

Visit our museum in Salem to see artifacts, hear veteran stories, and witness history up close. Step into a curated space where the past comes alive through multimedia exhibits, authentic artifacts, and interactive learning zones.
