Was going through a box of older aviation magazines when I came upon this September 17, 1951 issue of American Aviation. It is addressed to Atlas Supply Company in Newark, New Jersey. Noted also to ATTN E E ALDRIN.

Knowing that Buzz's father was also a pilot; what is the likelihood that this magazine belonged to him? Further, since Buzz graduated from West Point in 1951 it is also possible that he handled this copy back in the day?

What do you all think?

If you do a Google search of "Atlas Supply" and "Aldrin", you'll see several fascinating details about the elder Aldrin's work with that company.
