As a 13-year-old spectator at the
Willow Grove PA Nationals (Nats) in
1961, I had my first chance to watch Bill
Werwage fly. He won the Senior Stunt
crown that year, flying his fabulous Ares.
Bill won his first Senior division crown in
Control Line (CL) Stunt two years earlier,
and had gone on to best the Junior and Open
division winners to capture the coveted
Walker Trophy—symbolic of the overall best
Stunt flier in the nation for that year.
It was the first of three times—so
far—that Bill’s name has been on that
trophy. His name was also featured twice
on an award that bears the name of the
late, great Jim Walker.
Bill captured the F2B (CL
Aerobatics) World Championships
(WC) Gold Medal twice in a row
(1970 and 1972) and the perpetual
trophy, the Walker Cup, that
comes with the title.
