According to the EAA, the following categories are defined:

Antique 
An aircraft constructed by the original manufacturer, or its licensee, on or
before August 31, 1945, with the exception of certain pre-World War II
aircraft models that had only a small postwar production. Examples:
Beechcraft Staggerwing, Fairchild 24 and Monocoupe. [note:  I think this
should read "small *pre* war production"]


Classic 
An aircraft constructed by the original manufacturer, or its licensee, on or
after September 1, 1945, up to and including December 31, 1955. 

Contemporary
An aircraft constructed by the original manufacturer, or its licensee, on or
after January 1, 1956, up to and including December 31, 1967.

The Antique category is further subdivided into:

WORLD WAR II ERA (1942-1945)

BRONZE AGE (1937-1941)

SILVER AGE (1928-1936)

GOLDEN AGE (1918-1927)
