The CenTex Wing hangar houses two CAF aircraft for which the Wing has maintenance and restoration responsibility: a very-rare flying P-39 Bell Airacobra, and the U-3A "Administrator".  We have a tenant unit, The Yellow Rose Squadron of the CAF, which is responsible for maintaining and operating the B-25 "Yellow Rose".    The CAF replica "Kate" #310 is always in the hangar, when not flying air shows with the "Tora, Tora, Tora!" group.  Two other CAF aircraft are housed part-time with us, replica "Kate" #356, and the Bell P-63 King Cobra.  The P-63 is currently undergoing major maintenance in the hanger.  Other aircraft in the hangar are privately owned by CAF members, and used to support the missions of the CAF.  Among these are 3 AT-6 Texan types, a Japanese Zero replica, built for the movie Tora, Tora, Tora, a Chinese-built CJ-6A trainer, the Beech T-34A Mentor, and outside on the ramp is a Lockheed T-33 "Shooting Star" jet trainer.

About this site

        The Central Texas Wing,

   Col. John Stokes Memorial Library

 The beautiful Col. John J. Stokes, Sr., Memorial Library was built by Col. Fraye Stokes in honor of her late husband.  Col. John Stokes founded the Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force in 1974, and generously donated time and money to help assure the success of the Commemorative Air Force and the CenTex Wing.  At one time, John owned more than forty "Warbirds." He was instrumental in restoring the C.A.F.'s P-38 Lightning, Scatterbrain Kid II, and he donated the money to cover the restoration expenses of the Bell P-39 Airacobra, remaining it's sole sponsor over the years. The J.S.M. Library is located in the CenTex Wing's wooden World War II hangar and contains John's memorabilia along with artifacts, prints and original paintings of airplanes and hundreds of books. The J.S.M. Library is a "must see" when you visit the Central Texas Wing.
