Pat Macha regularly speaks on the topics of aviation accident history, archaeology, and safety. His programs feature PowerPoint presentations and graphics. Pat will give a presentation for 30 minutes then sign and sell his books.
With 52 years of research and field experience in aircraft wreck research, Pat Macha has authored five books on aircraft accidents in California: "Wrecks in the Mountains & Deserts of California 1908-1990", "Wrecks in the Mountains & Deserts of California 1909-1996", "Aircraft Wrecks in the Mountains & Deserts of California 1909-2002", "Historic Aircraft Wrecks of San Bernardino County" (This is the latest book in the excellent aircraft archaeology series by author Pat Macha. In it h...e tells the stories of over 425 aircraft wrecks that have occurred in California’s San Bernardino County (east of Los Angeles). This area is the largest county in the lower 48 states, and stretches from barren deserts to towering mountain peaks. It is also the home of many past and present military bases and test ranges. Because of these factors, this area has been a fertile ground for aircraft accidents, and this book tells the story of many of them.) Pat has been documenting crash sites throughout California in remote locations for fifty-two years, leading him to over 150 crash sites in Los Angeles County. See his site at Aircraftwrecks.com. Pat has assisted the Project Remembrance Team by helping next of kin in visiting crash sites of their loved ones. Pat's field work and research travel includes: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Featured in many newspaper and magazine articles; also in television on the History Channel program "Broken Wings". Pat has had scores of speaking engagements. He is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University and California State University at Long Beach.
Pat's associations and memberships include the American Aviation Historical Society, AOPA, Aviation Archaeology and Heritage Association, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), Smithsonian Air & Space, San Diego Aerospace Museum, Western Museum of Flight, Huntington Beach chapter of "Old Bold Pilots".
