Background
The Wings of History Museum of San Martin, California began as the Northern California Antique Aircraft Association in 1962. A local flight club, the NCAAA organized a local fly-in which has in 30 years become the Watsonville Fly-in and Air Show. Proceeds from the fly-in were used to purchase the land and build facilities for what is now the Wings of History Musuem.
