About the book

Captain Hancock (right) shaking hands with Charles Edward Kingsford Smith, pilot of the Southern Cross, before his trans-Pacific flight from the United States to Australia, 1928. The Southern Cross left Oakland, California, on its way to Brisbane Australia. They stopped in Oahu and refueled in Kauai, with the next stop in Fiji. It was the very first airplane to land in Fiji. The team arrived in Brisbane on June 9th, where a crowd eagerly awaited them. Courtesy Santa Maria Valley Historical Society

The Santa Maria Times is proud to partner with the Santa Maria Valley Historical Society Museum, the Santa Maria Museum of Flight, Allan Hancock College, and our readers on a new hardcover pictorial history book, Santa Maria Valley Memories: The Early Years.

This heirloom-quality coffee-table book offers a glimpse of historic Santa Maria from the early years to 1939 through stunning historic photos from the archives of the Santa Maria Valley Historical Society Museum and the Santa Maria Museum of Flight. In addition, we are thrilled to include photographic memories of years gone by from our readers. This beautiful book truly captures the rich heritage of our area.
