An informal meeting to discuss organizing an Aeronautical Society of Canada was held in Toronto 1 Sept. 1909, at which time a secretary pro tem was elected. The organization was completed by the end of 1909. The club soon had a circulating library.
Initial officers were F. B. Fetherstonhaugh, president; E. B. Merrill, vice president; M. B. Logan, secretary; and G. N. Thomas, treasurer. The Society included six men who had built full-size machines, three of which had already flown. This is not including the work of Prof. Graham Bell, who was also a member. Sir Hiram S. Maxim was an honorary member.
