About Us
A Museum dedicated to Military Aviation History
In 1975, the Michigan Air Guard Historical Association (MAGHA) and the Selfridge Military Air Museum were formed by a group of Air National Guard officers and enlisted personnel. Our mission is to help preserve the heritage and traditions of the Michigan Air National Guard, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and the units that are/or were stationed there.
Since its beginning and for more than 40 years of operation, the Selfridge Military Air Museum has had only three directors. They are:
Colonel Robert A. Stone (1918-1996)
Musem Founder/Director 1975-1996Lieutenant Colonel Horace O. “Mark” Bedsole (1924-2014) Director 1996-2000
Lieutenant Colonel Louis J. “Lou” Nigro
(1945 – ) Director 2000-Present
