AMA membership card, 1954 [Note: This image has been altered to hide personal information on the card]. (#0106 Sarpolus Collection, National Model Aviation Museum Archives)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Through several requests in the museum\u2019s monthly History Preserved article in Model Aviation<\/em> magazine, the archives requested certain AMA membership cards from years that we were lacking in the Archives. We received some of the needed cards last year, and 24 cards were received in January and February of this year.<\/p>\n

The potentially only missing membership cards \u2013 if ever produced – are from the year AMA started accepting memberships (1938) and the year after that. We assume if those were made they would have had an NAA logo on them, since a 1940 card we have has the NAA logo on it. We are not sure, however, if they had started issuing cards in 1938 or 1939, or if 1940 was the first year for cards. If so, our collection would then be considered complete up through this year.<\/p>\n

We are planning future museum blogs featuring AMA membership cards representing each year from 1940 to 2018. In the meantime, for a glimpse at some of our most colorful cards, check out our blog from last spring.<\/a><\/p>\n
