America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields.Two American boys light the rocket which sends off their model rocket ship, which they have designed and built in a home workshop. Like millions of other young Americans, they are learning in home and school workshops the basic principles of aeronautics which will stand them in good stead in the air-minded post war world. Many U.S. high schools have recently added courses in aeronautics to their curricula. The National Aeronautics Association through its model divisions, the Academy of Model Aeronautics, has formed an Air Youth Division to bring a coordinated activity in aviation to American youngsters. Post war plans include an Inter-American Model contest to bring the young model builders of South American countries, the U.S. and Canada into friendly competition

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young mechanic, equipped with a well-fitted tool kit, goes after engine trouble in his model plane. Like millions of other boys, he is vitally interested in aero-modelling, and is learning in his home workshop principles of aeronautical engineering which he will put to good use in the air-minded post-war world. Young model plane builders recently turned out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. The models, which were built in a scale of one to seventy-two, were representations of all types of aircraft used by the United Nations and the enemy

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Model planes of all types and sizes are being tuned up by their owners for a competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport, near the City of Baltimore in the eastern U.S. state of Maryland. Although fewer participants have turned up in the past few years, because of the numbers now serving in the armed forces, young model builders bring to Modelhaven, "the world's smallest airport," many model planes which show astonishing improvements over previous models. Thes young model builders will put the knowledge of aeronautics gained in home and school workshps to good use in the air-minded post-war world. Courses in aeronautics have recently been added to the curriculum in many U.S. high schools

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This flying model plane, which has a wing span of 9 1/2 feet (2.85 meters) was the largest model to enter a recent competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport near the city of Baltimore in the eastern state of Maryland. Model building has long been a popular hobby among American youth, and boys who a few years ago were building their miniature planes in home and school workshops are now putting that experience to practical use in airplane factories or in the armed forces. When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modelling

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Two young members of the San Antonio Gas Model Club display the model planes they have designed and constructed in home workshops and brought to Kelly Field in the City of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas for trial flights. Making model planes is a popular hobby among American boys, who recently turned out 800,000 scale model planes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups in training personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. Many U.S. high schools have recently added courses in aeronautics to their curricula

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This young American aviation enthusiast, Orin Anderson, poses behind his giant model plane at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas where members of the Gas Model Club do their weekly flying. Model building has long been a major hobby of American youth, who in 1941 answered a request from the U.S. government to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train military and civilian personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft. Boys who had learned the principles of model building in home and school workshops turned out scale models of fighters, scouts, fighter bombers, bombers, torpedo carriers, and commercial planes of the United Nations and of the enemy

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This unusual model airplane, a composite of several different types, is launched by its youthful builder at Modelhaven Airport, "the smallest airport in the world," near the city of Baltimore in the eastern state of Maryland. Model building is a popular hobby among young Americans, who band together in clubs and classroom groups to turn out model airplanes of every type and variety. When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modelling

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Model plane builders get their craft ready for the air at a competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport, near the City of Baltimore in the eastern U.S. state of Maryland. Every year, young model builders bring to Modelhaven, "the world's smallest airport," model planes which show astonishing improvements over previous models. Model building has long been a popular hobby among American youngsters, and model builders of other years are now putting their practical experience to use in U.S. war plants and in the armed forces. The National Aeronautics Association, through its model division, the Academy of Model Aeronautics, has founded an Air Youth Divison to bring a coordinated activity in aviation to American youngsters. Post war plans include an Inter-American Model contest, to bring the young model builders of South American countries, the U.S., and Canada into friendly competition
