The museum is housed in the last remaining classrooms of the Selman Field Navigation School, the largest navigation school in the United States during World War II. The Museum honors the story of General Claire Chennault and the Flying Tigers of WWII. 

The museum also tells the story of how a small crop-dusting business evolved into the second-largest airline in the world, Delta Airlines.
