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

A poster comes to life. The middle man in the poster looks at his image mounted on a wall at Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corporation, wonders what the other two fellows are like, and where they are these days. George Woolslayer, thirty-two-year-old welder, was chosen as a model for this poster when an Office of War Information photographer visited the plant in the fall of 1941. His interest in the soldier and sailor prompted him to write OWI (Office of War Information) asking for information on the servicemen. Result: furloughs wer obtained for the two, who came to the steel mill and saw that "Men Working Together" is the formula by which American soldiers, sailors and workers will win this war.

She works in the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company. Better known as the "Flying Fortress," the B-17F is a later model of the B-17, which distinguished itself in action in the South Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a long range, high altitude, heavy bomber with a crew of seven to nine men and with armament sufficient to defend itself on daylight missions

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This flying model plane, which has a wing span of 9 12 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
