Wigram: The Birthplace Of Military Aviation In New Zealand

Random House 2012

From fledgling flight school to the location of the Air Force Museum, the Wigram Air Base has played a large part in shaping the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

In this book, social historian Bee Dawson brings the history of Wigram to life by interweaving stories of early aviators, influential people and ordinary air force personnel with the key events of military aviation in the Canterbury region.
