Robert “Bob” Taylor
By Sullivan Vande Voort
To see part of my interview with Bob
We interviewed yet another amazing man: Bob Taylor. He got interested in aviation when he saw two biplanes at the Iowa Fairgrounds. He started to go to model airplane meets, and met a crippled man who was very interested in the AAA(Antique Airplane Association). He started the AAA in 1953 as a very small organization, but size has definitely changed. He worked many jobs, including working at a bakery in Hollywood. He is also a talented writer which he proved in many of his AAA type club magazines, including Rearwin Register, Hatz Herald, Great Lakes Log, Corben Courier, Fairchild Fan Club News, and Culver’s Going Places. He also wrote a magazine called Caribbean Breeze about his time as a brave young soldier in the 6th Air Force at Panama. He still writes a magazine called the Legacy Log about the AAA.
The AAA is currently a successful museum and fly-in. I encourage you to become a member and come to the fly-in on Labor Day weekend in Blakesburg, Iowa. If you're lucky, you might get to see Bob!

His birthday is coming up, so please send us a birthday message and we will show them to him. Also please write an article about Bob and send it to us, and it might be featured on our blog. Thanks for reading!
