ABOUT
Signed by author.
Drawing on his meticulously kept notebooks, contest logs, and correspondence, Zaic reconstructs the rapid evolution of model aircraft design during the late 1920s and early 1930s.
An era when young builders were experimenting boldly with structure, airfoils, and propulsion while clubs and national competitions were just beginning to take shape.
The book blends technical detail with social history: plans, performance data, and construction notes sit alongside photographs of youthful flyers, early meets, and the growing community that surrounded the hobby.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, drawings and diagrams.
