Air Force Faces: Stories of service and sacrifice

Air Force Faces: Stories of service and sacrifice

Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History
Masterton

2 February - 31 March, 2019

Three historical photographic shows in one: ‘Pooches and Pilots’ (on the tradition of the canine ‘squadron mascot’), ‘Centenary Faces’ (WWI pilots and their stories) and ‘80 stories in 80 years’ (a selection of life-size cut-outs of notable RNZAF personnel).

Developed and toured by the Air Force Museum of New Zealand, Wigram, Christchurch, 'Air Force Faces' is mounted to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of Wings over Wairarapa, the largest aviation event in the North island.
