Displays and exhibits within the museum depict the history of the airfield and show the work carried out by both the RAF at Tempsford and the 801st (Provisional) / 492nd Bomb Group USAAF, especially during Operation Carpetbagger, and their secret missions to deliver agents and supplies to resistance groups in Occupied Europe during the Second World War.
