The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and showcasing vintage military aircraft. Founded in 1957, the CAF aims to honor the men and women who served in the armed forces by maintaining a fleet of historic planes, many of which are used for educational purposes and public displays. CAF also organizes airshows and events, allowing the public to experience the sights and sounds of World War II aviation. Through these activities, the organization promotes awareness of aviation history and fosters appreciation for the sacrifices made by military personnel.
