February 1967 Model Airplane News
Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences.
Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that,
were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day.
I have been scanning and posting excerpts from my collection of AAM and AM, concentrating on model building articles and old advertisements. Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

This particular page is from page 1 of the February 1967 issue of Model Airplane News magazine. Notice the Western Union telegram notifying Bonner of the type certification. This is the era when 72 MHz frequencies had not long before been assigned for model use. $455 for a 4-channel radio system is a lot in today's dollar, but it was a huge amount of money back in 1967 (=$2,951.87 in 2010 according to the USBLS's inflation calculator). All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
