National Model Aero Club
The National Model Aero Club was organized in the US circa 2 March 1910 to promote the study of the problems of aeronautics as demonstrated by aero models, to regulate and control all model competitions in the USA, and to disseminate the latest ideas and discoveries in the problem of flight as demonstrated by models of either heavier- or lighter-than-air types. Membership was divided into a senior class and a junior class for boys under 18. When a model has been developed that has secured a record for flight or originality of construction, it was proposed to place it at the disposal of the senior organizations for development to practical size.
Initial officers included W. H. Crocker, president; M. W. Sage and P. W. Wilcox, vice presidents; F. S. Crocker, secretary; and M. P. Talmage, treasurer. Leo Stevens, Edward Durant, A. Armstrong, and L. W. Houck were directors.
