History

Founded in 1995, the New Hampshire Aviation Historical Society is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve the history of aviation in New Hampshire, collecting aviation-related information and artifacts of the past, present and future.

The Society conducts a regular business meeting every month unless otherwise decided by the Officers.

An annual meeting is held in the month of September for the purpose of electing officers, receiving reports, and conducting any other Society business, as necessary.

The Gee Bee Model A Sport Plane (pictured above) was the first plane built by the Granville brothers of Madison, New Hampshire in Boston, Massachusetts. They built nine in Springfield, Massachusetts followed by a series of sportsters (monoplanes) and finally leading to the famous Gee Bee supersportster racers, one of which established a new world land-air speed record. It was flown by James Doolittle.
