Praise for The Pacmin Story
“From travel agencies and aircraft manufacturer displays in the 1950s to the Paris and Farnborough Airshows, airline offices, and military headquarters of today, aircraft models produced by Pacific Miniatures have been the gold standard of this proud industry. Now named Pacmin, the legacy of this pioneering company spans eight decades and authors Steven Reynolds and Brian Wiklem have written a book that takes the reader on a wondrous and detailed journey covering every aspect of Pacmin’s reign as the premier model builders of the world’s aerospace industry.”
Mike Machat
Curator and Historian, The Museum of Flying
An award-winning aviation artist, historian, and author, Machat began his career as a staff illustrator and corporate representative at McDonnell Douglas. He is the author of four best-selling books on commercial and military aviation, and his artwork is held in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and the Pentagon.
If you’ve ever admired a Pacmin model, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
