May 1972 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.

MAY 1972 • VOL. 74, NO. 5

We don't often watch a high-powered competition free-flight model take off toward the camera. Here Bill Hunter's 600 square incher screams aloft with vengeance. Photo by the Ortmans.
