Welcome!

                                                                                     
Hello ~ my name is Dave Hoover, and like so many of you, my passion for military aviation history started as a young man. I began by collecting wing badges, which quickly expanded to patches, flight jackets and uniforms, historical veteran groupings, and photographs. This wonderful adventure began for me over 40 years ago and I continue to add to my own collection and enjoy the hobby today.

Military Aviation Artifacts was created with the mission of connecting passionate collectors with authentic historical military aviation memorabilia. I have handled thousands of artifacts over the years, which has encompassed most every type of military aviation artifact in the marketplace today. I have also been fortunate over those years to cultivate amazing friendships with other collectors, many that span decades of time and collaboration, all created through a shared passion for military aviation history. I have connected with collectors from all over the world, doing business in many different countries to date. I have also established relationships with several museums and other organizations, helping them authenticate, valuate, and acquire items for their organization. I believe that these relationships are what makes this hobby so great, a way of connecting and helping others that share your passion for preserving our military aviation heritage.

My goal has always been to ensure that Military Aviation Artifacts remains known as a reliable source for collectors to buy and sell authentic artifacts. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you, and whether you are buying or selling memorabilia, I hope you will find that Military Aviation Artifacts is a great place to do that.
