Model building has a long history in Canada. In fact, the assembly and the building of scale models with flying capabilities date back to the early years of the 20th century. The first scale models in plastic make their first appearance in the mid 1930s but is more commonly used during the 1950s and 1960s. The International Plastic Modellers Society (IPMS) was founded in the United Kingdom in 1963. A Canadian chapter named IPMS Canada is founded in 1964. AEG was a major player in German heavy industry for more than a century. As far as aircraft production is concerned, this company was only active between 1912 and 1918. The production of the AEG G.IV went into production in early 1917. During the war, in many cases, the crews did not have specific targets. One could argue they were tactical nuisance attacks designed to disrupt enemy activities rather than strategic operations. It is worth noting that G.IV squadrons conducted raids against targets in France, Greece, Italy and Romania. The AEG G.IV at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum is the only member of the AEG family left in the world. Indeed, it is the only multi-engine German airplane dating from the First World War left in the world. Le maquettisme a une longue histoire au Canada. De fait, l'assemblage et la fabrication de modèles réduits capables de voler remonte aux premières années du 20e siècle. Les premiers modèles réduits en plastique font leur apparition vers le milieu des années 1930 mais c'est au cours des années 1950 et 1960 que ce nouveau matériel s'impose. L'International Plastic Modellers Society (IPMS) voit le jour au Royaume-Uni en 1963. Une section canadienne, dite IPMS Canada, fait son apparition en 1964. AEF était un producteur important dans l’industrie lourde en Allemagne pour plus qu’un siècle. En ce qui concerne la production d’aéronef, cette compagnie était seulement actif entre 1912 et 1918. La production de AEG G.IV a débuté en 1917. Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, dans plusieurs cas, les équipages n’avaient pas des cibles spécifiques. Ces équipages étaient utilisés pour des attaques tactiques conçues pour déranger les activités ennemies plutôt que des opérations stratégiques. Il est important de noter que les escadrons G.IV ont commis des raids sur des cibles en France, Grèce, l’Italie et en Roumanie. Le AEG G.IV présentement au Musée de l’aviation et de l’espace du Canada est le dernier avion de la compagnie AEG qui existe au monde. De plus, cet avion est le seul avion multimoteur allemand de la Première Guerre mondiale qui existe au monde.
