AAFHA Archives: 2024 |
For over 20 years, AAFHA has been remembering and honoring the history of WWII aviation. We paticipate in public forums and airshows like MAAM WWII Weekend in Reading PA, Open House Airshows at McGuire AFB, and our "Hometown" Airshow at the Greenwood Lake Airport. We march in the Riveredge July 4th Parade and the SGt. John Basilone Parade in Raritan, NJ, and participate in local Pearl Harbor Commemorations. Our private member only events include our Annual Dinner Dance and Picatinny Luncheon. More recently the AAFHA Squadronaires WWII Revue have been performing for Veteran, seniors and historical societies at various venues throughout the Tri-state area. Here are some photo albums from our long and distinguished history! From the most recent to our ancient past, scroll down the history of the Army Air Forces Historical Society!

A small squadron of AAFHA members attended the Red Mill Museum Village's Salute to Service event in Clinton NJ during a hot and sweltering weather weekend. A severe summer storm blew through Saturday night, partially flooding the pavilion where we set up. Our display was augmented by the AAFHA Squadronaires Command Performance by Dawn O'Day on both days.
