At the end of the Nineteenth Century Massachusetts was a center of individual aeronautical experimentation and research. The Twentieth Century brought the Bay State's educational institutions into the scientific testing of aircraft designs, construction materials and even the atmosphere in which they operated. Across the state, from Boston to Worcester and Springfield and in Milton, Marblehead, Ashburnham and Amherst experimenters and small companies built and tested aircraft of all types, on frozen lakes, ocean beaches, and from hilltops and marshland. Colleges and universities then began the scientific study of this new technology in their laboratories and wind tunnels. These facilities grew and evolved along with aviation to make Massachusetts in 2003 a leader in aeronautical research and development.

Monthly Meetings - We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at the Civil Air Terminal (Room 329) at Hanscom Field, Bedford MA. The business meeting starts at 7:30 pm with the program starting at 8:00-8:15 pm. Presentations include speakers on various aviation topics, slide shows from member collections, videos and reviews of special collections. Visitors are welcome, please join us when you can and take the opportunity to introduce yourself and meet our members. 

Monthly Newsletter- This is a monthly meeting notice and news bulletin for MAHS members. It is mailed the week before the scheduled meeting with the program information and agenda.

Quarterly Journal- Our eight page Yankee Flyer quarterly journal is for members contains articles on Massachusetts aviation history- airlines, aero events, personalities, company histories and airfields etc.

Yankee Flyer Calendar- Each year since 1995 MAHS has produced a pictorial calendar with 14 Massachusetts aviation pictures and a chronology of key Bay State aero events.

Archives- MAHS has accumulated files in paper, electronic and image form on all aspects of our aviation history-while far from complete, we are working diligently to preserve significant aero history records. We are also surveying the library and historical community to identify and record the location of similar aviation history records. We are interested in any and all aviation records that should be preserved and shared.
