April 1969 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.
APRIL 1969 VOL. 68, NO. 4
On the Cover: The ardent Tenderfoot is James Marks, son of AAM author Fred Marks. The model is the Flying Funtique, the little crate you'll want to build for that Tenderfoot Contest. Photograph by Bob Lautman.
