Brief Historical Sketch

The Miami Valley Aero Historians Association was created in 1961. It was an informal organization which met in the homes of its members. There was a telephone committee whose role was to inform members of meeting dates and times. In 1963, the Central States Aero Historians Association was formed. In 1963, 1964, and 1965, dinner meetings were held. After 1965, this group became inactive.
