Description
The Wisconsin Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) has undertaken a project to completely restore to full military configuration a Lockheed PV-2D Harpoon bomber.
The PV-2 Harpoon was used primarily by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The Harpoon saw considerable and honorable service in both theaters of operations. Though over 500 PV-2's were built, only 35 "D" models were built before the war ended and the contract was canceled.Today there are five or six "D" models remaining. The "D" model had a specially modified nose to accommodate eight .50 cal. machine guns.
Our PV-2D is currently undergoing a ground up restoration at our hanger at Waukesha County Airport. When we are finished, this aircraft will be the most completely restored and authentic military PV-2 Harpoon in the world and will receive national and international attention.
