Dear Fellow Aviation Lover,
With Christmas on the way, who better than the
Tuskegee Airmen – the “Red Tail Angels” – for the
cover of this holiday edition of Historic Aviation?
Their story is a wonderful reminder of adversity
and ultimate triumph, but that’s just the beginning,
because this catalog has our famously large selection of aviation products for you and for those on
this year’s holiday gift-giving list. So as you add to
your collection, help someone else start their own;
as you purchase that new DVD you’ve always
wanted, get a copy for a friend; and as you find a
fun new t-shirt, remember to get a hat for your
buddy. Now is the time to spread your passion for
aviation and, more importantly, the wonderful history – like the triumphant story of the Tuskegee
Airmen – that it includes.
Thank you for shopping with us and may you
have a wonderful holiday season.

Beyond Top Secret
Born during the Cold War, Area 51
in Nevada became not only the
U.S. Air Force’s most strategic test

UFO investigators even claimed that the top-secret
planes tested there were built with technology
gleaned from alien spacecraft. Now, this video
uncovers the true story behind the cryptic desert
facility and looks into mysterious deaths
of base workers. 50 minutes..........#V9130E $24.95
