The Air Force Museum of New Zealand holds the national
collection of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. The Museum’s
role is to preserve and present the history of New Zealand’s
military aviation through its collection.

The collection is very diverse and includes objects covering
the early days of New Zealand military aviation both prior
to World War I and during this major conflict, the interwar
years which saw the formation of the RNZAF in 1937, New
Zealanders who fought in the RAF and in other Allied air
forces during World War II, the RNZAF’s campaign in the
Pacific, and the post-war period to the present day. The
collection also includes objects from former enemy forces.
The collection is owned by the RNZAF Museum Trust Board.
