UNSUNG HEroES PROJECT

HOW MANY HEroES GO UNNOTICED?

HOW MANY STORIES GO UNTOLD?

HOW MANY MEMORIES ARE FOREVER LOST?

"Unsung Heroes" is our way of sharing the stories of sacrifice and service, the joy and the sorrow…

The Temora Aviation Museum’s Unsung Heroes Project is a major initiative dedicated to recording the personal stories of the men and women who have served in the defense of Australia, from the Second World War to today.

"Unsung Heroes" is a biographical database that highlights the personal stories of men and women who, despite not all being featured in history books, played crucial roles in Australia's military aviation heritage. These individuals came from diverse backgrounds and were not always pilots or engineers.

So far, we've recorded over 500 interviews, and that number keeps growing. Besides recording interviews, we are also actively collecting memorabilia related to these individuals and their stories, including photographs, logbooks, uniforms, ephemera, and aircraft parts.

HONOUR A FRIEND, FAMILY MEMBER OR YOURSELF

Honour a friend, family member, or even yourself by being included in the Unsung Heroes Project sponsored by the Temora Aviation Museum. 

If you know someone, or believe you have a significant story that should be told, please email us on info@aviationmuseum.com.au to nominate an Unsung Hero.

All nominees must have either worked with or flown Australia's military aircraft or made a significant contribution to the country's military aviation heritage. By nominating an Unsung Hero, you help ensure their memories and stories are preserved, contributing to the rich tapestry of Australia’s military aviation history.
