October 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.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the very first edition of American Aircraft modeler that I ever received, after joining the Academy of Model Aeronautics. My AMA number is 92498.

OCTOBER 1972 • VOL. 75, NO. 4

Cover Photo

Monty Groves' photo of his 40-powered replica of the first Lockheed airplane. At the time of the original's design, the company was known as Loughead Aircraft. It is an unusual biplane and an excellent flyer. See pages 40 through 47 for the story.
