WHAT DO OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS
"GOLDEN AGE SERIES"
John Worth, AMA #13, former AMA President and Executive Director - U.S. "This Anderson series of publications (Golden Age of Model Airplane, 1, 2, 3,) is a major contribution to the historical record of Aeromodeling. The amount of information contained in these books is equivalent to many volumes of model magazines produced over many years ... decades of data for reference and/or just plain nostalgia. To anyone who grew up with model aviation during the 20's, 30's, 40's, and since, this series of books is a goldmine of recollections regarding how things were and how they developed over the years." "This is no boring collection of statistics. The pages of the books are alive, with a high percentage of illustrations, including copies of the advertising, photos, and drawings that filled magazines, company brochures, and books ... a vivid visual representation. Many of the famous modeling personalities of the times are featured, adding extra interest to the documentation." "Every modeler's library should include this collection of publications ... besides the enjoyment it brings in reminiscing, there is tremendous value involved because it provides more information per page than almost any other source. Between the Anderson publications and the Frank Zaic yearbooks ... the story of Aeromodeling history is incredibly well covered."		Ron Moulton, retired Director of Aeromodeller - Britain "Three spiral bound volumes, each covering a vital period in the progress of Aeromodeling in the U.S.A. have been enthusiastically compiled by Frank Anderson and his wife Vicki. A life-long modeler Frank had always wanted to collate and publish this material before it disappeared and eventually became forgotten. The result is a set of books that are not only a vital record of the past, they also provide a source of interest into which one could browse for hours on end." "Each is made up of selected extracts from catalogues of the time under the common title of 'Golden Age of Model Airplanes'. They are distinguished by their coloured spines: " "Volume 1 (white) covers 1907 to 1935. It's 192 pages include fold-out plans for a Jenny dated 1920, innumerable accessories from wire spoked wheels to compressed air engines, a 30 page Appendix (after a review of many very early, long forgotten catalogues) covers 'How We Started', from the first organized Junior Aero Club of America, in 1907 .... through a history of Aeromodeling up to 1928, our first 'Nationals' .... plus subsequent Nationals stories through 1934." "Volume 2 (red) covers from 1935 to 1941. This has 218 pages containing fold-out plans for Leon Shulman's Skyscraper and Lou Garamil's Strato-Streak among the more familiar products of this great era. Catalogue repro's are supplemented by magazine extract. The emergence of Berkeley, Scientific, Jasco G.H.Q., Cleveland and Megow is well covered. So too is the story of control-line by Stanzel and Jim Walker. Engines form a considerable part, and for this alone, it is a valuable record of a fascinating 6 years." "Volume 3 (blue) is another heavy 220 page edition for the 1941-1949 period. It included repro's of the magazines planes and features on ... Leon Shulman's Super-Zomby, Sal Taibi's Brooklyn Dodger and Davy Slagle's Checkala Roma among a wonderland of reports from US Nats and illustrations that will offer more hours of browsing over legendary modelers and the designs they created ... highly recommended."
