EAA Turns 9
The January 1962 issue of Sport Aviation featured an expanded chapter news section, including a complete list of chapters, locations, and contact information. The cover featured a
unique delta-winged Baker MB- 1 built by Marion Baker of Huron, Ohio.
Inside were stories on several member projects, a short piece about the
history behind the famous poem High Flight by John Magee Jr., and a
report on the first EAA State Convention in Michigan. In Paul’s column
he noted the association’s awareness of a need to create a closer working
relationship among builders and potential builders and outlines a process
for builders to submit their information to EAA’s aircraft records files.
