For decades, Museum members and supporters have been donating their aviation books to Planes of Fame Air Museum with the expectation that someday the Museum would open an aviation research library to the public. For many years, diligent volunteers had been working to catalog donated books, but the donations rapidly grew to exceed the cataloging process and no suitable facility for a library was available. Under the guidance of Board Member Karen Hinton, a committee was formed to find a permanent solution. Now after an intensive effort by a dedicated group of volunteers the dream of a Planes of Fame Air Museum Research Library has now been realized. With over 10,000 volumes cataloged, most of which are now on th...e library's shelves, we are pleased to announce the grand opening on November 15th, 2014.
In celebration of this remarkable milestone, the Museum is excited to announce ‘The Planes of Fame Air Museum Research Grand Opening and Book Fair’ scheduled for Saturday, November 15, 2014. The event will be held at the Planes of Fame Air Museum in the Maloney Hangar from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm, with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30 am.
For the Book Fair, we are inviting authors to sell their books and provide a reading. Participating authors are: (we will be adding more authors)
Dan King: "The Last Zero Fighter" and "A Tomb Called Iwo Jima"
Wilbur Richardson: "Aluminum Castles"
Mike Cimenera: “The Aircraft Designers: A Grumman Historical Perspective”
Thomas Cleaver: "Fabled Fifteen, the Pacific War Saga of Carrier Air Group 15"
Mark Carlson: "Flying on Film: A Century of Aviation in the Movies, 1912-2012"
You are invited to join us on this wonderful occasion!
