ABOUT
Vintage specialised yearbook for model aircraft enthusiasts. A cornerstone vintage text in the history of aeromodelling.

Zaic compiles contest results, model designs, performance data, and construction methods from across the United States, creating a detailed snapshot of what builders and flyers were achieving in the mid 1930s.

His careful documentation of airfoils, structures, and flight characteristics reflects a community beginning to embrace systematic experimentation and shared standards. The yearbook also serves as a practical guide, offering plans, building notes, and insights into emerging trends such as improved rubber powered designs, streamlined fuselages, and more efficient wing configurations.

Illustrated throughout with illustrations and diagrams.
