I found the following info on the Yankee Air Museum and thought some of you might want to help out. There's a link at the end to some before and after pictures.

Yankee Air Museum
An Institution Is Lost, Flying Heritage Saved
Southeast Michigan lost one of its remarkable cultural institutions to fire Oct. 9 - the Yankee Air Museum. The museum was housed at Willow Run Airport, the site where four-engine B-24 Liberator bombers rolled off the assembly line. The fire destroyed seven aircraft, hundreds of artifacts, the museum library, store and offices.
The good news is that volunteers saves the museum's B-17G (pictured). And the museum plans to rebuild. Veterans and their families who are interested in donating artifacts and family heirlooms should call Curator Gayle Roberts at (734) 637-8876. The museum also needs everything from office supplies to monitors and DVD players that were lost in the fire. Those interested in donating items can write
