Aeronca Ads from Flying magazines in the post war period....
Any restorer of an Aeronca needs to find as many ads and articles from 1945-1951 as possible. They can document the color scheme, trim layout and are fun to read at the same time! Unfortunately it takes a while to load this page... in order to get enough detail and size to read the small print, I had to scan these at a higher dpi/size. But you can't get the ads anywhere else on the Internet, so now would be a good time to go upstairs and get a Starbucks or Pepsi! Here are a few ads from that time period... interesting how we as a nation felt during these post war years....Aeronca was afterall, a major player in light airplanes during the war and a lot of pilots came back from the war at least knowing the brand name! But the market disappeared in just three years. The only trouble is that I never heard of Lt. Col. Martin Low... I'll have to look that one up in
my library!
OK we continue on to the next page, which has a lot of 7AC Champ ads from the early years. We will then continue on to the 11AC Chief series of ads. The next page has an early Chief ad, a Plexiglas windshield ad with one of the prototype Champs featured... plus more post-WWII flavor.....Click on the button to continue. Oh yes, one more hint: These pages take a long time to load up. You might want to open more than one browser window ... that way you can load more than one page at a time and look at one while you are loading another one.
Skip the 7AC Champion ads.... let's go to look at some more Aeronca Chief ads...
Here is a Flight test report on the 11AC Chief from December 1946...
Keep your Champ or Chief in top shape with this 1947 article on how
they did it back then...remember this was only a 2 year old plane built only 20 years after Lindbergh flew the Atlantic ocean! Aviation was still
young, exciting and this was the latest and newest technology! Now,
the Champs and Chiefs are classics!
