The story of Hearns Hobbies dates back to the Great War of 1914-18 when a young Jack Hearn joined the Royal Flying Corps. This was the commencement of a family dynasty devoted to aviation and aeromodelling.

Jack Hearn had three sons, who all served with distinction in the Second World War as officer pilots. Jack also passed on his interest in modelling to his sons, two of which were employed in the hobby trade in the 1930s.

After the War the brothers decided to make aeromodelling their career as well as their hobby and Hearns Hobbies went on to become one of the best-known and highly respected hobby houses in the country.
