Features all die-cut parts, one-piece balsa wings & tail feathers, fuselage bulkheads & sides, top and bottom in balsa, balsa prop, rubber motor, cut-out covering templates on the plans, cut-out insignia and illustrated instructions. Since this model is all balsa, there is no tissue. Never started. The inside is exactly as it left the factory It is 100% complete. Little is known about Airlane Model Company, but they attracted some of the top model aircraft talent in the country. They were located at 318 W. 29th Street, Chicago, IL. Many Airlane plans were drawn by Bill Gough, who is a well known Model Aviation Hall of Fame Inductee. He was involved from 1925 onwards. He designed kits for Comet from 1935 to 1938, and after the war developed plastic kits for Monogram and Lindberg. He wrote early articles on model aviation for Sunday newspapers; at one point, he was in 17 national papers. His designs often appeared numerous magazines, especially in "Model Aviation" where he was known for brilliant, innovative and beautiful models that flew well. Bill was a competitive flier for more than 50 years. Starting in 1932 as a Junior Birdman, he competed for years in Chicago area contests. Later, he took parts in the AMA Nats and continued right up until 1984. His list of competition wins is too long to list here. As for Airlane, they had a series of wooden boat kits ("W" line), a series of wagon (old west style) models, sold glue with their name on it (in 5 and 10 cent sizes) as well as six aircraft lines- "X" solid scale (non-flying) models, "T" with <10" wingspans, "B" line with large 24 inch wingspans, "R" (larger wingspan, 50 cents) and "Q" (smaller, 25 cents and "D" line with large wingspans for gas engines .074 to .099,) flying kits. The R line included R1 through R12, Q was Q1 through Q15, "D" was D1 and D2, the T line was T1 through T6, B was B1-B3, the ships were W-1 through W-3 and there was even a line of solid scale models that were X-1 through X-6.
