Fine. 144 pages 27 cm OCLC 1090892 ; LCCN 44004124 LC TL770 .A38 color art deco design on stiff paper wrappers ; "The present day emphasis on old timers has progressed to the point where it has become necessary to reprint this very popular book of the forties. It was reprinted three times and then with the movement to glow engines anre more sophisticated model aircraft it was allowed to go into limbo. Now with the growth of S.A.M. Society of Antique Modelers and the trend to nostalgia and the good old days suddenly Air Age's Gas Models is a thing of the present. Just how timely is unbelievable until one reads the note on page 6 describing the shortage of balsa. Today's shortage of the same product has forced model kit manufacturers to all sorts of extremes to continue manufacturing the products which we cannot do without. In modeling timeliness is not only today but also the yesterdays and the tomorrows for which we should be very thankful." ; Contents: The K.G. lives again : how you can build a modern streamline version of the old record-breaking K.G. in which are combined super soaring qualities and a skyrocket climb -- Fokker D-8 contest scale : A realistic gas model of a famous World War fighter that performs like a contest plane -- Army Grasshopper : A flying model Taylorcraft O-57 that provides thrills of a full scale plane --- The answer fro gas fans :build this dual purpose national record holder it can be flownin either Class A or B contests -- The winged Yankee : A high performance Class A gas model that is wasy to build and operate -- The G.E.
