About The Warbirds
Living History Group

Made up of Army Air Force enthusiasts from all over North America, the Warbirds Living History Group assembles for roughly one week each Summer to provide a living history presence for Warbirds of America at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Our members are all volunteers who provide their own equipment and resources.

During AirVenture week, the group populates a campsite which recreates the headquarters section of a forward airfield for the 12th AF as they make their push up the Italian boot in 1943. The outfit also plays host to a contingent of Royal Air Force pilots and is often called upon to act as a collection point for downed Luftwaffe aircrew.

While we try to represent any typical AAF unit near the front line, we also provide uniformed personnel for a number of photo shoots and warbird presentations which call for a wide range of impressions.

Since 2005 the group has been invited to 'Show Center' to participate in the Warbird Air Show portraying a ground component receiving close air support by P-40s, P-51s and B-25s. More integration of the Living History experience is anticipated for future airshows.

Each year the Warbirds LHG has sponsored a 'Movie Night' featuring 16mm short subjects and feature films of the WW2 era. Hosted by Group CO and vintage film collector Kevin Wisniewski, the event is a great chance to share a little fellowship with members of the EAA community 'off the flightline'.
