AIR FORCE MUSEUM Museum Construction Under Way; New Design Concept Construction of a new $6 million home for the Air Force Museum, Ohio's largest tourist attraction, is well under way, it was announced today by Robert S. Oelman, chairman, and Frank G. Anger, president of the Air Force Museum Foundation. In their announcement they revea'ed that a new design concept has been adopted for the building which will provide considerably more enclosed display space than the previously planned structure. "Since the original announcement of the museum project in 1961 there has been constant of the initial design concept, especially in view of sharply rising building costs, in order to insure the maximum facility for the investment made," Oelman said. "The modular construction techniques developed in recent years make it possible to erect an attractive facility that the nation, the Air Force and the Dayton community can be proud of," he added. Foundation President Anger described the new approach as "one which wPl bring a tremendously worthwhile cultural facility to the area and to aviation in general, while carrying forward the original concept of the late Eugene Kettering." Funds making possible construction of the museum have been provided largely by Mr. Kettering, by members of his family, by local and national business and industry', and by private citizens as the result of a fund campaign which has leen under way since 1964. "Our efforts will continue during the months ahead in order to permit additional organizations and individuals to have a part in this project which is so important to aviation." Oelman said. hibit areas, without structural columns, providing uninterfloor space rupted, clear-spa- n for maximum flexibility and ease of movement of planes and exhibits. Administrative space, a theatre seating 500, and a restaurant seating 200 with adjacent kitchen, along with a technical research library will be grouped in a two story core area to provide ease of access. The dining- area and gallery spaces located on the second floor of the central core provide dramatic overlook views of the additional outdoor exglass-enclos- ed - hibits and surrounding airfield as well as into the museum display areas.
