The National WWII Museum in New Orleans is presenting a new tour of wartime England led by Donald L. Miller, author of "Masters of Air," about the U.S. Eighth Air Force that engaged in some of the riskiest fighting against Nazi Germany.
The weeklong tour begins in London, where guests will visit the Royal Air Force Museum, the Imperial War Museum and the Churchill War Rooms. They will also have an opportunity to pay their respects at the American Memorial Chapel to the Yanks based in England who lost their lives. Other stops include Bletchley Park, where German codes were cracked, and the Churchill archives at Cambridge University for a viewing of secret orders relating to the air war.
Other highlights include visits to East Anglia villages and the airfields where U.S fliers launched their bombing raids and an aerial demonstration of World War II aircraft. V-E Day — May 8 — is celebrated in Cambridge with a dinner at the Eagle pub's RAF Bar, whose ceiling is adorned with the signatures of returning WWII pilots.
Dates: May 5-12
Price: $10,995 a person, double occupancy; $1,995 single supplement. Includes all accommodations and motor coach transportation; entrance fees to all sites, museums and historic attractions; lectures; special gatherings with WWII veterans and civilians; seven breakfasts and six lunches and dinners.
