Review:

The 45th Infantry Division Museum in Oklahoma City celebrates the history of the Oklahoma 45th Infantry Division of the National Guard called the Thunderbirds, as well as other aspects of American military history. The museum has a range of exciting exhibits. One of the most important is the Reaves Firearm Collection of basic weapons used by infantry and cavalry from the Revolutionary to the Vietnam War.

One of the particularly interesting exhibits in the museum is the famous Mosby Cannon, a Civil War cannon that the Union army captured in 1863. The museum also features more than 200 cartoons created by Bill Mauldin, a 45th Infantry Division soldier, about World War II. The cartoons were produced mostly from 1944 to 1945. The Hall of Flags' exhibits tell Oklahoma's military history starting with the history of the Oklahoma forts. The exhibits, which feature photographs, artifacts, and documents, also describe battles that were fought in Oklahoma during the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War I.
