Avro F

Thumbnail
Two circular windows at the pilot's head level could be opened for the pilot's head to protrude when flying under poor visibility. Ingress and egress was via a trapdoor in the fuselage top. The cabin was quite cramped - at its widest point only 2 feet (60 cm) across.

Boeing 40 Mail Plane

Thumbnail
The Boeing Model 40 was a United States mail plane that became the first aircraft built by the Boeing company to carry passengers. It was of conventional biplane configuration with a combination of standard and warren-truss style interplane struts.

Boeing F4B

Thumbnail
Serving the US Navy at the end of the biplane era, the classic F4B was the star of the family of famous Boeing fighters which included the US Army Air Corps' P-12 and the export Model 100. The F4B was a super ship to fly and was the most capable carrier-based fighter of its time. For all its elegance and maneuverability, the F4B triumphed successfully for only a brief time before being eclipsed by the arrival of the monoplane in the late 1930s. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

Boeing Model-299

Thumbnail
In 1937, the twelve Y1B-17s with the 2nd Bombardment Group at Langley Field represented the entire American fleet of Heavy Bombers. Notably, it was built with NOT ONE cent of Army money and Boeing was in difficult circumstances at the time. This noble effort led the way to the legendary WWII B-17 Flying Fortress that arguably won the war crippling the Nazi war machine.

Brewster Buffalo

DeHavilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide

Thumbnail
The de Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide was a British short-haul passenger airliner of the 1930s. Designed by the de Havilland company in late 1933 as a faster and more comfortable successor to the DH.84 Dragon, it was in effect a twin-engined, scaled-down version of the four-engined DH.86 Express. It shared many common features with the larger aircraft including its tapered wings, streamlined fairings and the Gipsy Six engine, but it demonstrated none of the operational vices of the larger aircraft and went on to become perhaps the most successful British-built commercial passenger aircraft of the 1930s. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

Douglas Devastator

Thumbnail
This American torpedo bomber is remembered mostly for a tragic reason - the Douglas TBD Devastator fell in flames at Midway, where an entire squadron was lost in a matter of minutes. The Devastator was perfectly acceptable aircraft by prewar standards, but it came on the scene when change was occurring rapidly. By the time men and machines were pitted in combat in the Pacific, the TBD was no longer an effective warplane. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

FockeAchgelis Fa-61

Thumbnail
Prof. Heinrich Focke had come to the conclusion that the inadequacies and limited serviceability of autogyros could only be eliminated by a real helicopter. A free-flying model, built in 1934, propelled by a small two-stroke engine brought the promise of success.

Fokker T2

Thumbnail
The T-2 was an airliner designed in the Netherlands in the early 1920s, but built to the extent of only two examples, both for the United States Army Air Service. It was the largest high-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailskid undercarriage Fokker had built. Two different versions. (Only two were built)

Grumman Goose

Thumbnail
The Goose was Grumman’s first monoplane to fly, its first twin-engined aircraft and its first aircraft to enter commercial airline service. In postwar use, the adaptable little transport continued in use as just a fun plane to have. 5 different versions as of 8/09

Grumman Skyrocket

Thumbnail
The XF5F Skyrocket is best known for its appearances in the Blackhawk comic books. The Skyrocket was introduced in the first issue of Military Comics, published in 1941. Skyrockets continued to be flown by the Blackhawk Squadron through the entirety of World War II and afterward.

Kalinin K-7

Thumbnail
Designed by World War I aviator Konstantin Kalinin with a wingspan greater than the B-52 and a much greater wing area, the K-7 was one of the biggest aircraft built before the jet age. It was only one engine short of the B-52 as well, having the curious arrangement of six pulling on the wing leading edge and one pushing at the rear. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.

Lockheed Explorer

Thumbnail
There was great hope for the Lockheed Explorer, with designs on Antarctic exploration, and Trans-Pacific flights. But alas, the Explorer model turned out to be the least successful of all Lockheed's great early planes. A total of four Explorers were built and all four crashed. Even tho it sure was a good looking 1920s airplane. A cartoon cutout model of Roscoe Turner (Google him :) and his lion mascot is included.
$$7.50

Lockheed Sirius

Thumbnail
The Lockheed 8 Sirius was single engine, propeller driven monoplane designed and built by Jack Northrop and Gerard Vultee while they were engineers at Lockheed in 1929, at the request of Charles Lindbergh. Two versions of the same basic design were built for the United States Air Force, one made largely of wood with a fixed landing gear, and one with a metal skin and retractable landing gear.
$$8.50

Lockheed Vega

Thumbnail
The Vega was a six-passenger monoplane built by the Lockheed company starting in 1927. It became famous for its use by a number of record breaking pilots who were attracted to the rugged and very long-ranged design. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly the Atlantic single handed in one, and Wiley Post flew his around the world twice.

Martin B-10 Medium Bomber

Thumbnail
At the time of its creation, the B-10B was so advanced that General Henry H. Arnold described it as the air power wonder of its day. It was 1.5 times as fast as any biplane bomber, and faster than any contemporary fighter. The B-10 began a revolution in bomber design; it made all existing bombers completely obsolete

Renard-Monoplane

Thumbnail
The R.17 was a high-wing cantilever monoplane, the cantilever wing an unusual feature when most contempary aircraft still had braced wings. Designed as a high-speed transport for fresh flowers no aircraft were ordered and the only R.17 was retained by the company till 1946.

Thumbnail

Stinson-Gullwing

Thumbnail
A graceful airplane, the four- to five-place Gull Wings, called "Reliants" by the factory, were very large machines! Though they were not fast, they definitely were "character" airplanes with their own distinctive shape.

Tupolev Ant-20

Thumbnail
Built near Moscow in only nine months, the Tupolev Ant-20 Maksim Gorki was the largest airplane the world had ever seen when it was unveiled amid great fanfare in 1934. It had a wingspan of 206 feet 8 inches and was 108 feet long. The gross weight was 92,600 pounds. It was powered by six 900 hp M-34s in the wings and another two atop the fuselage. Inside it was like an ocean liner, very non-socialistic indeed. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.
