Default Planning Research at Museum of Flight

In February, I'll have a chance to do some research at the Museum of Flight library in Seattle. I'm interested in building an index of rocketry articles that appeared in model airplane magazines. The Museum has graciously provided a list of the magazines in their archive:

1. The Aero modeler

2. Aerospace modeler magazine

3. Air trails (1937)

4. Air trails (1950)

5. Air trails classic flying models

6. Air trails hobbies for young men

7. Air trails model annual

8. Air world

9. Aircraft in miniature

10. Aircraft model collector

11. Aircraft model world

12. Airfix magazine

13. Airfix magazine for modellers

14. Airfix magazine for plastic modellers

15. Airfix magazine for true-scale model enthusiasts

16. Airspace model : the how-to-do-it magazine

17. American aircraft modeler

18. American aircraft modeler annual

19. American modeler

20. American modeler annual

21. AMI : Aviation Modeller Annual

22. Fine scale modeler

23. Flying models

24. International Plastic Modeller Society quarterly

25. Model Airplane News

26. Model Aviation

27. Model Builder

28. Model world

29. Plastic aircraft models

30. Young men (a predecessor to American modeler)

I know that articles appeared in American Aircraft Modeler (Harry Stine had a column in there for years) and Model Builder (regular column by Doug Pratt).

If anyone here knows of other publications in this list which had articles, please let me know.

If there are other publications not on the list that I should ask the Museum about, let me know that as well.

Any help in prepping for this research is greatly appreciated!

Don't forget G. Harry Stine's article in the October 1957 issue of Mechanix Illustrated:
