Air Classics - Again!

Postby MichaelB » Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:06 am

Another head's up for the new issue of Air Classics. This time they have a two page spread of "might have been" manufacturer's models. I'll need to bring the issue in from the WC as there are a couple of names mentioned and they are asking for input as well...
Jim Larsen is the author of the article (and series), and he thanks John Aldaz for use of the models for photographs. Larsen's contact address is jim@aeroacoustics.com if "you have extra information or knowledge of these types of models" ...as in manufacturer's concept models. I must say that I had not seen a DC-7D model before, or the Convair Model 23B SST.
Nice pictures!
Does anyone here know either of these guys? They seem a natural for our group, and vice versa.

I know Jim pretty well.
We have been out of touch for years.
