August 1968 American Aircraft Modeler

[
Table of Contents]
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. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content
is relevant to today's modeler.
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.
