As a little kid I would look through my Dad's collection of model magazines.  I knew this was a great hobby and there were so many great planes and models.  When I came across January 1969 copy of American Aircraft Modeler and saw the cover,  I knew that the Gee Bee was a real special plane.  Ever since then It has been my favorite plane.  I have collected many Gee Bee related things over the years and I have included some of the pictures from my collection.
