Maylands Airport (also known as Maylands Aerodrome, Maylands Airfield) on the Maylands Peninsula, in Maylands, Western Australia, was the main landing place of a significant number of record breaking flights in the early stages of flight in Australia.[1] It was Perth's first official airport and was the birthplace of commercial aviation in Western Australia.[2]
