I was 5-6 years old at the time this issue of MAN came out. It would be another 4-5 years before I had my first model airplane, yes a Brewster Buffalo, never finished it but enjoyed it non the less. I have no idea when combat first came on the scene. I never had any real interest in combat, only sport and stunt. Never entered a contest just fly for sport and fun. Since I had this old magazine I thought it would be appropriate to share with this group. Richard358430
