the only one formed overseas in Australia. Many people have donated time, skills and memorabilia to preserve the history and proud heritage of the many valiant men of the 475th. This new museum was dedicated in October 1997, at the expanding March Field Air Museum complex at the former March Air Force Base near Riverside, California, where the first test flight of the P-38 took place. The March Field Museum chronicles the history of U.S. military aviation since 1917. Legally known as The 475th Fighter Group Historical Foundation, Inc., the museum was housed in a modern steel building reminiscent of a World War II military hangar. In 2005, the museum's board decided to merge the museum into The Air Museum Planes of Fame. As of 2015, a hangar at Planes of Fame was under construction for the 475th.
