Aeronca's Golden Age Overview:

Aeronca's Golden Age

A thorough history of the Aeronautical Corporation of America, written by Alan Abel, Drina Welch Abel, and Paul Matt. The book traces Aeronca's story from the early 1920s through World War II and beyond, covering the company's formation, its survival through the Great Depression, the catastrophic 1937 flood, and its wartime production years. Biographical profiles of Aeronca's founders are woven throughout, giving the history a depth that goes beyond a straightforward company timeline.

Every Aeronca model is covered, with special emphasis on the C-2, C-3, Model K, Model L, 7AC Champ, and 11AC Chief. Variations, origins, and trim schemes are documented throughout. Readers who own the previously published Aeronca, The Best of Paul Matt will find this volume goes significantly further in both scope and detail.
