Art on the Cover of Model Airplane News Aviation Art at Its Finest

Hi Lindy Hoppers!!! In Fond Remembrance of Jo Kotula


Aviation Frontiers, 1929-1969 Why are we doing this? When I was a kid, one of the big events of the month was the arrival of my copy of Model Airplane News. This was in the 1950s when things like Radio Control, model jet engines, and fiberglass were evolving. There were pictures of incredibly detailed scale models as well as the skeleton-like indoor models covered with microfilm and every other permutation on less-than-full-size flight. I was amazed at the grown men who had workshops full of sophisticated tools as well as the money to buy engines and equipment that I could only dream of. With a lot of help from a sympathetic science teacher, I even got through some of the technical details of airfoils and RF modulation. And, of course, I made model airplanes. (Look at this page for more on that subject.) My fondest memory, however was the stunning cover art done by Jo Kotula -- he was able to capture every kid's fantasies about airplanes, particularly when he showed an American fighter diving from the clouds with machine guns blasting away. I kept a lot of my copies of Model Airplane News (or M.A.N. as it is known to enthusiasts...) and I buy copies whenever they show up at flea markets. I have 285 copies stored in archival boxes. In addition to this, I live in Washington, DC with easy access to the collections of the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I was discussing M.A.N. with friends and was saddened to find that they had never heard of Jo Kotula even though he over 300 covers for M.A.N (and others for Popular Science and a host of miscellaneous publications). I searched the internet and was saddened to find that there was no website that paid tribute to Jo Kotula. (Although there were commercial galleries that sold his work for large dollars with little biography.) So, I decided to make one. What about the folks who sell this stuff? The online auctions often feature M.A.N. covers. The problem is that there is no ofiicial or unofficial index to the magazine. The sole purpose of this webpage is to answer the question "What was on the cover of Model Airplane News?" (...and to put the cover into historical context) All cover reproductions are reproduced in 72 dpi format, so they are not ruining the market for fine art. For some of the rarer covers, I even blurred the image. The intent is to build a market for these materials rather than destroy one. You should know that I don't sell anything -- and my intent is only to fill a historical vacuum. I have covered the first 40 years of M.A.N. from 1929 - 1969. Others can fill in the last 40 years. This material is for historical interest only -- the plans that have been reproduced are intentionally distorted -- you can look at them, get an idea about what you want and then order them from the Academy of Model Aeronautics, the current publishers of Model Airplane News or from the Cleveland Model and Supply Company. I am not connected with any of these organizations. History of the Covers Model Airplane News had eight different cover styles during the first forty years of publication. They began as "Boys Flying Adventures Model Airplane News" with the words superimposed above a propellor. The cover subject was a boy enjoying contact with aviation. This general theme held unti January of 1931, the cover style changed -- the propellor went away and the title became "Model Airplane News and Junior Mechanix". The cover subject was a rather fanciful drawing of a "hangar" on a dirigible. By May, 1931 the title stayed the same, but the format moved to a cover painting with a scene from "Wartime". These covers were drawn by R.C. Wardel, a commercial illustrator who did pulp magazine covers. Jo (then Josef) Kotula makes his debut in May, 1932 and stayed for more than 40 years. Looking for a cover Style The cover styles changed several times, but the format developed in October 1942 remained the same for the next 26 years. In 1968, M.A.N. merged with Radio Control Digest and the covers had a "split fomat" with an aviation subject dominating and a Radio Control product shown in a box. The cover was always a painting of an airplane until the September 1948 issue featured a photograph of a free-flight competitor. The period from April, 1949 through May 1950 featured Kotula's drawings of people and model airplanes in competition. This includes: April, 1949: Scale Control Line May, 1949: Rise-Off-Water (Seaplanes) June, 1949: Hand Launched Rubber Free Flight August, 1949: Gas Powered Free Flight September, 1949 Radio Control October, 1949: Wakefield Competition November, 1949: Indoor Competition As time passed, cover paintings diminished until there was only one of Kotula's masterpieces offered in 1969. Other Art By Jo Kotula In addition to his lengthy career as the cover artist for Model Airplane News, Jo Kotula also became famous for his illustrations of plastic models made by Aurora, a genre that has come to be known as "Box Art." As shown below, Kotula was a master not only of aircraft, but also submarines, tanks and howitzers, to name but a few: Box Art by Jo Kotula Click to Enlarge Click here to see a slide show of all the Aurora boxes with art by Kotula that are in our collection. Viewing the Covers First of all, I'dlike to thank my friend Mike "The Modelhound of Bellingham" for helping me find some of the more obscure covers. He did a great job of scanning! We several options for you to view the covers: Access through thumbnails: scroll down a few lines and you'll see a group of small thumbnail pictures -- they are actually "buttons" that you can click on to view a little "story" about the airplane that includes a full-size ".jpg" of the cover (at 72 dpi) plus photos, videos, patents and links for the plane (where available). The buttons are arranged by year starting with 1929 View just the covers as a Slide Show: the grouping for each year offers you a hyperlink to a slideshow of the covers for that year View by cover subject: click here to go to a list of the 473 covers with information aout the subject. You can use the "find" button to locate a specific plane Access any way you want: Click here to download an EXCEL spreadsheet containing all the data (year, month, airplane, manufacturer and URL) You can sort that any way you want to find just what you are looking for.
