The 1939 Nats was held July 5 to 9 in Detroit, Michigan. Although some original material from the 1939 Nats advertises it as the 12th Nats, this Nats is currently considered the 17th Nats based on other historical research. The first contest that is considered the Nats by the National Model Aviation Museum is the Mulvihill Model Trophy contest event held during the 1923 international air races in St. Louis. |
