During the years we have collected many items that are connected with the Americans
stationed in Schleissheim Airfield (Oberschleissheim).
Our target is to establish
a permanent exhibition about the Americans in Schleissheim on the airfield. Recently there
are no adequate rooms available, neither in the museum "Flugwerft Schleissheim"
nor elsewhere on the airfield. Therefore we display a selection of our collection on this site. |

This linen bag once belonged to the equipment of a fire fighter vehicle of
Schleissheim Airfield. It contained plans of alarm and fireplugs of the airfield and most
American military installations in the Munich area that were serviced from Schleissheim.
After the fire engine was scrapped in 1968, the bag was kept until the end of the fire
fighter service of the airfield in 1981.
The airfield fire brigades of the U.S. Army were subordinated to the U.S. Corps of Engineers.
