Warren E. Bartlett, District VII Vice President. Address: 14515 Asbury Park, Detroit, Mich. Certainly “Bart” does not have to be introduced to the modelers in his District as he has most ably served as AMA vice president since 1951 and as director of the Plymouth International Contests for over five years.
Starting in 1930 with a Paul Waner R.O.G. job, and then joining the Junior NAA in 1935, Bart’s interest in model aviation activities has covered almost every field. At present, he finds that team racing, speed, and R.O. W. flying are his chief interests.
His years of club work number quite a few and he has served the Strathmoor Model Club of Detroit as its secretary in 1948, as vice president in 1953 and as its president in 1949, 1950, 1952, and 1955. His CD’ing of contests did not stop with the Plymouth Internats, but extended to the Michigan State Exchange Clubs annual contests, FAI speed trials, and the Strathmoor Model Club annual contests.
Besides model building and flying, Bart holds near and dear to his heart the ownership of a Rearwin Speedster with a new 134 H.P. Menasso engine. Knowing how proud he is of the Speedster, we present it to you for appraisal.
In answer to the questions, “What more can AMA do to help the modelers?” Bart suggests that the AMA services and publication be extended and that more modelers – sport flyers especially – be encouraged to join the AMA.
