American Aviation Historical Society

While the Membership Department remains in Huntington Beach, the headquarters office moved to the historic Flabob Airport in Riverside, California.

[11] Additionally, there are chapters ("wings") in other parts of the United States, including Phoenix, Arizona[12] and Northern Virginia,[13] which conduct meetings and activities of their own.

In Northern California, the San Francisco-area chapter (formed in 1985) separated in 2006 to become the Society for Aviation History,[16][17] citing objections to the national organization's insurance requirements.

[20] It also provides links to an affiliated site, APT Collectibles,[21] which catalogs and markets past issues of the AAHS Journal.

[27][28] The organization's advisory board has included aviation historians Gerald Balzer, Richard P. Hallion, Robert L. Lawson, and (until 2019) Walter J. Boyne, founding curator and later director of the National Air and Space Museum.
