Ideally, the presentations selected for publication here should, when taken as a whole, will serve to exhibit the rich variation that is our nation's 100+ years of aviation history and heritage. As it grows, we hope to have something for everybody.

Articles
From the CAHS Archives
To start things off, we've repackaged a number of articles from our legacy site and archived them here for your enjoyment. Are you able to help the webmaster with missing captions, or more detail on those that are too general or sparse? If so, please get in touch.
Newly Posted Historical Articles
We're also pleased to begin posting new articles. To kick things off, we have finally found a happy home for an interesting piece of research on a subject not often brought to light in any history (aviation or otherwise) venue – Parachute Jumps In Canada & Newfoundland 1927-1945, by CAHS Journal author and editorial board member Ian M. Macdonald.
Coming Soon
Aviation History in the Remaking (until someone comes up with a better name!)
Restored aircraft, reenacted events, museum displays and similar present-day undertakings are, strictly speaking, not History, but more celebrations and commemorations of it. CAHS Aviation History Online offers this space to supplement our e-Newsletter's reporting.
