The Velcro closure allows entry to the airplane without removing the entire cover. The Canopy Cover also attaches by two belly straps, one under the engine cowling and one under the tailboom. Belly straps are adjustable and detachable from either side using heavy- duty quick release plastic buckles. The buckles are padded to prevent scratching. To ensure the most secure fit, high-quality shock cord is enclosed in the hem of the cover to help keep the cover tighter against the airplane.

    THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE By E. E. " Buck" Hilbert President, Antique-Classic Division (Photo by Ted Kaston) SHARING THE WEALTH A two day trip to Blakesburg/Ottumwa proved again that Antique and Classic airplane lovers are just that . .. lovers, not fighters. In the time I was there I heard some testy comments and dire suggestions, but they all seemed to evaporate in the presence of good camaraderie and aviation lore. The realization that the airplanes were the center of attraction and not at all part of the petty rivalries came late to some people, but it came. Talk about allegiance to this or that group soon dissolved and there was a constant stream of traffic between the two fields as people tried to see all they could. The welcome mat was out at both fields and the barriers that were in some minds soon tumbled. I left early - not by choice - but I'm sure the outcome was what I expected. The airplanes will win . .. in the end. There was just too much experience and airplane happiness to share. Most of the joy of air­ planes comes from sharing it with other interested people and the common goal of keeping them flying can't be ignored. HOW TO JOIN THE ANTIQUE-CLASSIC DIVISION Membership in the EAA Antique-Classic Division is open to all EAA members who have a special interest in the older aircraft that are a proud part of our aviation heritage. Membership in the Antique­ Classic Division is $10.00 per year wh ich entitles one to 12 issues of The Vin tage Airplane published monthly at EAA Headquarters.

    A Bove the Pacific

    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.

    STRAIGHT AND LEVEL By Brad Thomas The bitter winter cold arrived with a bang in early President January and not only stopped motorists but schools, Antique/Classic Division businesses and commercial air travel in many areas of the country. Those of us in the process of restorations do have something to accomplish if we have an avail­ able working area that can be heated, and those with­ out heat will just have to wait until spring arrives. Even with a heated working area you must be careful of sudden changes in temperatures when moving your projects around. We well remember a few years back when Steve Wittman was heading to Florida for the Sun 'N Fun Convention when it was being held in January. It was quite cold outside and when Steve rolled his Tail­ wind out of the heated hangar and into the sudden temperature change, he was amazed to watch his wind­ son, now designated a national monument.
