A Focke-Wulf Fw 190, at the Champlin Fighter Museum (c.1995)

The Champlin Fighter Museum was an aircraft museum located at Mesa, Arizona. It specialized in airworthy World War I and World War II fighters.[1] After 22 years of operation, the museum was closed on May 26, 2003, and its collection was moved to the Museum of Flight at Seattle's Boeing Field.[2][3][4]

It also published books related to aviation, such as Henry Sakaida's 1985 book Winged Samurai: Saburo Sakai and the Zero Fighter Pilots.[5]
