Dear Fellow Aviation Lover,
In the 1960s, when jet fighters were the
“hot” rides in the skies over Vietnam, the
straight-wing, propeller-driven A-1 Skyraider
was something of an underdog. Despite that,
it became the United States’ best strike aircraft. We are especially proud to feature that
fine warbird on the cover of this catalog and
in the products below (which include one of
Hobby Master’s finest models yet!) because
the Skyraider achieved its success through
reliability, staying power, and the ability to
deliver – and those are qualities we strive to
achieve, Lt. (JG) William
“Tom” Patton of the
