A vital snapshot of an industry in motion, the Australian Aviation Year Book for 1966 stands as an authoritative annual record of one of the most dynamic periods in Australian civil aviation history — an era defined by the rapid expansion of air travel, the introduction of jet aircraft, and Australia's growing place in the global aviation network. This comprehensive reference volume presents a complete guide to the aviation industry throughout Australia, including a detailed Who's Who of key industry figures and the official D.C.A. (Department of Civil Aviation) Aircraft Register, making it an indispensable compendium for professionals, historians, and enthusiasts alike. Published by The Comash Publishing Co., this yearbook chronicles the organisations, operators, personnel, and registered aircraft that formed the backbone of Australian aviation at a pivotal moment in its development. Its meticulous documentary approach captures the regulatory and commercial landscape of mid-1960s Australian skies with a precision that transforms a reference work into a genuine historical artefact. For anyone seeking to understand the structural foundations of modern Australian aviation, or simply to trace a particular aircraft or figure from the era, this volume remains an irreplaceable primary source — one that raises as many fascinating questions as it answers.
