Airplanes and Rockets - September 1957 American Modeler
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.

This particular page is from page 3 of the 1961 Annual issue of American Modeler magazine. Thimble Drome is no longer in operation, and Cox no longer sells model airplane engines. Cox was bought by Estes, and recently sold its entire stock of engine parts to Xenalook. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $3.98 "Bumble Bee .049" would be $28.84 in 2010 money.
