Nice, bit small museum. Hard to believe the little town of Terrell TX played a major part in WWII.

BFTS is the most amazing place and I love to come to the remembrance day service and tea, it's a little slice of home. Thank you so much for keeping alive the memories of my fellow countrymen I  that little piece of England.

If you are interested in WW II history, military history, or just north central Texas history, you want to check this place out. In WW II when the Germans were invading European countries, Britain did not have a place to train pilots. So, Roosevelt quietly let Churchill send their pilots to the US to train as the US originally wanted to appear "neutral." The Terrell Airport was one of the few places they trained and its the only location that has preserved its heritage. Very nice little museum. A former mayor of Terrell was one of those British pilots who returned to Terrell after the war and married a local girl.

A well kept secret, but it shouldn't be. While not an extravagant museum, it sure does have some wonderful WWII memorabilia.  If you want to spend some time enjoying a great little hidden gem with a lot to offer, put this on your list!
