Welcome to the online home of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society, the world's premier organization dedicated to preserving Canada's flying heritage. The CAHS is currently undergoing significant changes: there are many new faces in the executive, at the helm of the Journal, and in the day-to-day management of the Society. These dynamic times have unfortunately resulted in a delay in Journal publication, but new editor Bill March and graphics manager Terry Higgins have put together exciting issues that will reach your mailboxes soon. We've also spent the summer spearheading a number of exciting new projects to be launched soon, including a revamped website. Watch this space for more details and feel free to contact us with questions. The Canadian Aviation Historical Society is the oldest and largest organization in the world dedicated to the celebration and documentation of Canada's flying heritage. Members receive the CAHS Journal, Canada's premier aviation history magazine, regular newsletters, and an invitation to participate in the local activities of 11 regional chapters. You are presently on the home page of the Society dedicated to the preservation of Canada’s flying heritage with the objectives as stated in our Federal Charter:
The CAHS was founded in 1962 by Canadian Aviation enthusiasts from the Toronto area receiving a Federal Charter in 1963. Now after 45 years with Chapters from Vancouver Island, BC to Halifax, NS the CAHS remains the primary source of information and research on Canada’s rich aviation history. The covers displayed on the this page are a sample of what is contained in each quarterly Journal. Click on the images for more information. |
