Description: Step inside the hangars of a beloved but now-shuttered institution and discover the story of the Australian Aviation Museum at Bankstown. From the aerodrome's pivotal role in twentieth century flight to the warbirds, workhorses, engines and instruments that filled its collection, this book celebrates the machines and the dedicated volunteers who brought them back to life. It also traces the changing skyline around Bankstown and the difficult final chapters of closure and dispersal, reflecting on what endures when a museum's doors close for good. A heartfelt tribute to Australian aviation heritage and the passionate community that preserved it.
