Vol. 62, No. 2, Summer 2017
Back cover

It has been brought to this editor’s attention that this beautiful painting that graced the inside front cover of the AAHS Journal Summer 2017 issue was attributed to the wrong artist. Both the artist and the artist it was attributed to let me know I had screwed up. The credit should be given to artist John Amendola. My sincerest apologies to both individuals, and I take full responsibility for the screw up – promising to work harder at NOT repeating this type of error in the future.

Forum of Flight, Page 159
The captions for the two photos of the Grumman G-21 Gooses are reversed. Checking the N-numbers of the planes will quickly sort out this error.

The Ugly Duckling, Sikorsky’s S-38, Page 85
The photo in the upper right corner labeled NC8005 has the wrong caption applied to it. The caption should read, “The Sikorsky S-36B, as represented here by XPS-1 , A-8005, was a basis for the S-38 development. (G. Balzer, AAHS_D102805)”

We regret these errors and will continue to work diligently to minimize future ones.

Call for Paintings
The AAHS has traditionally supported the aviation artist by featuring their work on the covers to the AAHS Journal. But, we can only do this with your help. The inventory of aviation art we have available is getting drastically low. So, if you’re an artist that would like to see your work featured, please contact the editor (Hayden Hamilton, webmaster@aahs-online.org). We would like to hear from you.
