Help Save the Titan of Tillamook
With the attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 fresh in the minds of Americans, plans to defend our coasts from enemy attack were put into place. Commissioned in December of 1942, Naval Air Station Tillamook was part of this ambitious plan. Here the Navy would build two massive, wooden, Hangars designed to house air ships, or blimps, that would patrol our coasts for enemy activity.
Today, only one of those Hangars remains, the venerable Hangar B. This structure is now the only one of its kind that remains open to the public in the US. Unfortunately, after 75 years of service, Hangar B is under threat from a new enemy, time and the weather.
Friends of the Tillamook Air Museum (FOTAM) was founded in response to this threat. FOTAM was commissioned by the Port of Tillamook Bay in 2017 with the mission to preserve historic Hangar B on Naval Air Station Tillamook and the museum housed within this marvelous structure. This task is as monumental as Hangar B itself, and our mission cannot be accomplished without your help.
There are several ways you can become a Friend of the Tillamook Air Museum and Hangar B:
- Make a onetime or recurring donation
- Become a Volunteer
- Join our Board of Directors
- Advocate for our cause in your community and beyond
