World Airline Historical Society (WAHS)

Founder and President of the World Airline Hobby Club, organized a fraternity of airline and airliner enthusiasts, in the year 1977. The club which was two-year-old was held together by its quarterly journal, THE CAPTAINS LOG. From that small beginning evolved “Airliners International,” an annual convention that has become the “Super Bowl” of enthusiast shows for those in search of every possible form of air transport. Bought, traded, sold and on display are a myriad of airliner post cards, photos, slides, videos and models plus the more traditional airline collectibles like playing cards, swizzle sticks, luggage tags and stickers, timetables, kiddy wings, china glass and silverware, menus, books, badges, uniforms, in-flight magazines, brochures, advertisements, manuals, signs, seat pocket emergency cards and airsick bags. The Club has been renamed the World Airline Historical Society. THE CAPTAINS LOG is a treasure of information on the history of commercial aviation with articles, columns, and research projects plus a wants and disposal section for trading among members of which most are airline employees.
