Description: Step inside the hangars of the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society at Shellharbour, where rare and remarkable aircraft are lovingly returned to life by the volunteers who refuse to let them fade into memory. From the origins of a passionate obsession to the towering presence of Connie the Super Constellation, this book explores the machines, the mechanics, and the moments that define one of Australia's most extraordinary aviation collections. Blending craft, community, and the wide skies of the Illawarra, it's a heartfelt tribute to living history and the people who keep it airborne.
