The AMA History Program

The AMA History Program's mission is to preserve the history of model aviation.  Our goal is to compile and record the biographies of aeromodelers and model industry associates, as well as record the history of special interest groups and aeromodeling clubs.  These records are available to all interested parties via the internet and the National Model Aviation Museum’s Lee Renaud Memorial Library. Currently, the Program contains over 760 modeler biographies.

The Program's goal is fulfilled by soliciting information from those who have contributed to model aviation.  You can help by sending in your autobiography and/or encouraging other modelers to do the same.  If you are interested in submitting a biography, please use the forms below.  Assistance with writing and/or compiling information can be provided.
