1941 ARE FORCE CANDIDATES AT LUSCOMBE SCHOOL

One wonders how many of the young men in the photo actually went into Uncle Sam's United States Air Corps as a result of the meeting pictured in the photo above. Luscombe was a thriving aircraft manufacturer during this era. I was introduced to the building of model airplanes when brother Bud and his buddies Bill and Elmer Peters introduced me to the joys of model aircraft construction. Among my first "stick models" was the Luscombe "Silvaire." She flew like a trooper!
