The Mechanics' Aeronautical Association was started in Rochester, New York, apparently in 1911. The organization was composed primarily of skilled mechanics who associated for the purpose of exchanging ideas in aeronautics. Monthly meetings were held. The association was constructing a biplane of the Curtiss type and club members were also building flying machines at 191 Front Street.

There were over 40 members at the beginning of 1912.
