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. Two American brothers proudly display their model of a photographic reconnaissance plane. They designed and constructed this small plane which takes photographs through a trap-door installed in the fuselage. Controlled by a time release, the trap door opens in mid-air and operates the shutter of a camera mounted in the plane. Model building has long been a popular hobby of American youth. In 1941 it was estimated that nearly three million boys were actively interested in model building. 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 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
