The Ascher Collection
The tradition of displaying historic aircraft at Willow Grove began shortly after World War II. In 1946, a group of Naval officers led by LCdr David Ascher rescued axis and allied aircraft from the scrap yard and assembled them into a display along US Route 611. The display came to be known as the Ascher Collection.

Our Museum Curator, Susan Halteman, has written an interesting review
of the fate of the Ascher aircraft in our Summer, 2007 Newsletter.
