Dear Fellow Aviation Lover,
No, this is not the “Halloween Edition”
of Historic Aviation, but you might have
thought so looking at the cover! Andy
Wenner created the “Spooky” image of an
F-4 Phantom with its namesake, and if you
love it as much as I do, be sure to take
advantage of our introductory special!
We know that “collecting history” –
such as the signatures of famous pilots – is
a favorite pastime for many of you. Inside,
you’ll find eight new photographs with a
total of 11 signatures; a model of the XF-92
signed by test pilot Chuck Yeager (page 42);
a nose art panel signed by WWII ace “Bud”
Anderson (page 18); and eight new art prints
with a total of 44 pilot signatures, including
the granddaddy of them all: a print signed by
26 Knight’s Cross recipients (page 25)!
Another way to enjoy history is through
kits of aircraft that are an important part of it.
Among those, you’ll find a 1/32 A-36 by
Canadian supplier Hobby Craft (page 19), a
1/48 F-84G Thunderjet from Revell, a 1/72
Martin P6M-2 Sea Master created by the
French company Mach 2, a nostalgic 1/144

Experience the true essence of
flight with this electric-powered sailplane! Featuring a
gargantuan 78¾" wingspan, this sailplane utilizes a
powerful 480 brushless motor for initial launch, then
the propeller soon folds back to reduce drag, freeing
the plane to utilize thermals of air to remain aloft
(instead of batteries). That means flight times are
much longer than traditional electric aircraft, making a
relaxing day in the great outdoors even better.
This set includes everything you need to begin your
soaring adventure:
• 3-channel control (throttle, rudder and elevator) and
Spektrum™ 2.4GHz radio technology that eliminates interference and the need for frequency
control
• An 11.1V, 1300mAh LiPo battery for flight times in
excess of 30 minutes
• A variable rate DC cell-balancing LiPo charger that
safely charges and conditions the LiPo battery
