Besides a great "Airplane" cover by Howard V. Brown, this issue has some special things to offer even beyond the normal great content on vintage radio equipment- AVIATION and TELEVISION. Although the Aviation articles incorporate radio to a good degree, the "Up and Going" and "New Wings for Young Americans" articles are most interesting. The former article forecasted where modern commercial aviation was headed. The latter is all about GLIDERS. There is even a photo of Amelia Earhart in a glider!

When you think about television, you're probably not thinking 1920s (even late 1920s) although a few experimental television sets were manufactured. This article is about RCA's daily experimental television broadcasts in New York City starting in March 1929 over station W2XBS. The 60-line transmissions consisted of pictures, signs, and views of persons and objects. Experimental broadcasts continued to 1931. The article is also accompanied by photographs.

There is plenty more in this vintage Radio News Magazine though- How to Build (various equipment) with schematics and instructions; New Radio Products; a List of All the Broadcast Station Call Letters; plus great illustrated ads for radios, components, and much more.

Many of the pre-1930 issues of Radio News are scarce and worthy collectibles. This one happens to be in really good condition too, complete and intact with only a little wear at the spine ends.
