 The National
Association of Rocketry (NAR) has been around since 1957. At one time, the Academy
of Model Aeronautics (AMA) was pretty tightly joined with them in covering model
rocketry events and promoting model rocketry. In fact, for while there was space
allotted in American Aircraft Modeler, AMA's monthly magazine, for model
rocketry. From February 1968 through August 1969 there was a newsletter feature
entitled "Model Rocketeer" in addition to a separate article, often written by
G. Harry Stine. A complete list
of all editions is provided below.
 The NAR and AMA still work together. For
example, the National Aeronautic Association (NAA)
delegates authority for aeromodeling and spacemodeling to the
Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA),
who has in turn delegated Spacemodeling (model rocketry) to the NAR.

catcher information sheet needed by all Sections . . . write to Andy Elliot,
10203 Leslie St., Silver Spring, Md. 20902 for your latest copy ....
NAR Orbiters Newsletter is exceptional on layout, originality and news .... Other
Section pubs include "Igniter Current," by the Fairchester Section, which claims
membership rolls within top three Sections across U.S. .... A top-notch pamphlet
was sent in by West Covina Model Rocket Society in California which is pledged to
"Safety, Education, and Recreation Through Model Rocketry." Their photos are excellent,
info presented together with a city map to locate range is well worth effort, but
most important is back-page list of 17 clubs or related MR activities in the state
that gives name, advisors, range sites and brief comments.
