Annual Edition 1962 American 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.
Here is the Table of Contents for the 1962 American Modeler Annual Edition. There is an image version and I have also OCR'ed the text so that it is searchable. If you see something you need that I have not already posted, send me a note and I'll put it in the queue.
