Interestingly, our magazine was once part of "AAM" magazine (American Aircraft Modeler) until 1975, when AAM went bankrupt and the AMA again began publishing M.A. om it's own.

From the AMA's website;

"In 1966, the AMA approached the publishers of American Aircraft Modeler (AAM) magazine about the possibility of incorporating a section called AMA News into their magazine rather than printing the small but costly MA. AMA members received AAM featuring AMA News as part of their membership beginning with the July/August 1966 issue and ending with the March 1975 issue. AAM went bankrupt in February of 1975, leaving the AMA with no means to communicate with its members. AMA officers realized that a magazine rather than a newsletter was more beneficial to AMA members, and thus resurrected MA as a magazine. To this day, AMA members continue to receive MA as a member benefit."

Perhaps this is where talk of bankruptcy has come from, someone finding this old story of AAM's demise ?

Otherwise, till more concrete info surfaces, I'll take the above link as;



PS, the above post is not in any means an attack on Flyers1 for posting the link to that discussion, it's simply my statement that the discussion itself doesn't appear to have any factual basis, it appears to be more of a "I heard from so & so who heard it from someone else"........
