In advance of construction work at the Aviation Museum & Library, our team has been busy with the deinstallation of our long-term exhibition on the China Clipper’s historic flight across the Pacific Ocean in 1935. One object featured in the exhibition was a 10-foot tall propeller from the China Clipper itself. Our conservator wasted no time in giving the propeller a thorough inspection and cleaning. Stay tuned for more updates!
