Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of our nation's greatest World War II museums, The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force received a preserved B24 Liberator from the National Museum of the US Air Force in Barksdale Air Force Base. The aircraft is one of the three remaining B24s relics from World War II. Originally named Rupert the Rue II Rupert will undergo a brief restoration process and will join a B17 Flying Fortress to become the newest centerpiece of the museum. (00:09–00:20)
