American Aircraft Modeler - Last Issue (March 1975)

March 1975 American Aircraft Modeler

March 1975 American Aircraft Modeler - Airplanes and Rockets3     [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.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics' (AMA) official magazine, "American Aircraft Modeler," (AAM) ceased publication with the March 1975 issue. Here is the cover for it. I was 16 years-old at the time, and had been a member of the AMA since 1972. The replacement magazine, Model Aviation, is still in publication. By the way, I have acquired the AmericanAircraftModeler.com domain name and hope to someday have permission from its owner/editor, Mr. William Sweeney, to scan and publish a few issue.

Airplanes and Rockets - Final Edition of American Aircraft Modeler, March 1975I have a second copy of this edition that I bought on eBay. It is in better condition that my original. If you would like it, the price will be $25 + shipping (probably about $3 using the media rate). Please send me an e-mail if you are interested.
