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. 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

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. A member of the San Antonio Gas Model Club, which does its weekly flying at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas, proudly displays his amphibian model airplane, which has a six foot (1.8 meters) wing spread. When an earlier model crashed there was nothing left but one good wing. This young model enthusiast decided to build a new plane around it. He built an amphibian and turned out a perfect flying job. The plane is made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material. Like millions of other young Americans who make model building their hobby, this young man will be called upon to put his practical experience in aeronautics to use in the air-minded post war world

Collecting pitchers is hobby of Virginian. Arlington, Virginia, July 2. Twenty five years ago Mrs. William B. King of Arlington Virginia, started her hobby of collecting pitchers. Now she has over 300 and only two duplicates in the collections. She has pitchers from almost every state in the Union as many from foreign countries. England has contributed a fine Toby, a pitcher in the shape of a cow and another which is a souvenier of Oxford. Included in her collection are also ones from Italy, Germany, France, Holland, Africa, Belgium, Mexico, and Bermuda. Her hobby seems much more interesting when you consider that all her pitchers are used on different occasions instead of being used for decoration only, 7237

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
