Little did most people
know that two months after this October 1941 issue of Flying Aces
magazine arrived in their mailboxes, the U.S. would be drawn into what would
become World War II, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on
December 7, 1941. Flying Aces was chock full of factual and fictional
stories about the last war (War War I), and the things the Krauts and Nips were
already pulling across Western Europe, North Africa, China, and the South
Pacific. Much more subject material was near at hand. Oddly, the magazine
changed its theme and title to
Flying Age
shortly before the end of WWII, electing to focus more on full-scale aircraft
rather than models. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
Inflation Calculator, the $9.75 Phantom P-30 engine would cost you about
$194 in 2023. In 2020 it would have been $163. That means the total rate of
inflation for the last three (3) years has been around 19% (~6.3%/year). In 2016
the equivalent price would have been about $153, so from 2016 to 2020 the
increase was just 6.5% for the entire four years (~1.6%/year). Keep that in mind
the next time you vote!
