The main purpose of the museum will be to educate children about World War II, bringing them to the actual site of a training base that was involved in the war. Students will see pictures of the base in operation, ammunition rounds, pilots' medals and uniforms and videotaped interviews with base personnel, Carlson said. Volunteers in DeLand have put together a tribute to the World War II base, which will open to the public in November. By Billy Bruce SENTINEL CORRESPONDENT DELAND Volunteers have set their sights on a November opening of the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum the city's permanent tribute to its World War II heritage. After two years of delays from a lack of local support, members of the nonprofit DeLand Naval Air Station Museum Inc.

said the museum should be ready for visitors during the annual Air Fleet celebration planned for Nov. 10 and 11. "We've made substantial progress toward completion, and even in the past six weeks we've seen a lot of work done," museum secretary Ed Carlson said. "We're shooting for a dedication ceremony on Nov. 11." The museum will keep World War II-era memorabilia inside the Shearer House, the oldest existing building on the site of the original air base.

Built in the early 1920s, the small wooden house is in its original Biscayne Boulevard location, on fenced airport land near the West Volusia Family YMCA The Navy built the air station on what now is the city airport, operating a pilot training base there from Nov. 17, 1942, to March 15, 1946. The Navy used the Shearer House as living quarters for the station's master of arms, local historian Bill Dreggors said. The museum's November dedication should include the unveiling of the largest artifact obtained yet by the museum group a flight-worthy A-6 Intruder fighter jet. The Navy is processing paperwork to allow the DeLand museum a permanent loan of the twin-engine jet.

Museum officials plan to make the plane a permanent display, Carlson said. Smaller memorabilia and arti- 201 Medical Plaza 601 E. Dixie Avenue Leesburg, FL 34748 (904) 365-2020 Keith Charles, MR 4 "We've got about 25 people who actually served on the base who stay in touch with us and visit De-Land for the annual Air Fleet events," he said. "We've really got a list of more than 100 people who served here, but only about 25 stay in contact." Even if the A-6 Intruder is brought aboard, the museum's big' gest exhibit may lie beneath a former city dump on the airport's northeastern corner. "The Navy scrapped and buried 20 to 40 dive bombers over there, but the planes are buried under about 6 to 8 feet of commercial garbage," the 65-year-old DeLand native said.

With help from the Navy and former base personnel who can pinpoint the burial site, museum officials hope to dig up enough plane parts to assemble a bomber for exhibit. Such a plane would have to be stored inside, so a new structure would have to be built beside the current museum, Carlson said. '91 DODGE SHADOW 1 000 down or trade equity 12.5 APR for 54 mths.

A lack of building materials, volunteers and money caused supporters to miss their goal to open the 900-square-foot museum in time for Air Fleet '94. The museum group since has received labor and material support from local contractors and suppliers. Helpers include Russ Gagnon, a retired DeLand High School teacher. Gagnon, 67, spends about four hours a day on weekdays rebuilding walls, frames, floors and windows inside the house.
