National Museum of the Marine Corps Aviation Curator Dr. Larry Burke joined us on Scuttlebutt this week to talk about Marine Corps Aviation. Dive into the very birth of aviation from the invention of the airplane, through the birth of armed forces aviation, then World War I and into the Caribbean and Central America as we chart the path that led Marines into the sky and beyond. Of course, by beyond, we are talking space, the museum is working hard to chronicle Marine involvement in the space race, not just the astronauts, but capsule recovery and more.

After recording, Dr. Burke provided a correction: At the museum there is FG-1 Corsair, not an AU-1 as stated in the episode.
The views and opinions expressed on Scuttlebutt are those of the individuals and do not reflect the official position of the Marine Corps Association.
Produced by Nick Wilson, Vic Ruble, William Treuting, and Nancy Lichtman.
