News and Events:
D-Day Freedom From Above. Now
through November. This is special traveling exhibit is on display at the US Army
Museum at Fort Belvoir until November. I visited the Army museum at Ft
Belvoir recently saw it. It covered the role of the airborne in the DDay
landings, concentrating on the 82nd at St Mere Eglise and La
Fiere farm. Rather than trying to build exhibits with physical items, the
exhibit is all on line. You are given an ipad and there are 14-15
stations with a QRF code. You use the ipad to access the scene in that exhibit.
When you get to the St Mere station, you see it on the ipad in a 360 format
with the German garrison. A later one has the town in the hands of
the Americans. They have a very good mock up of a glider with the various
controls etc. And they have a station with the fight at La Fiere farm
again with a 360 view of the bridge and farm. The exhibit is quite
clever.
