About

A history of the model airplane industry Son of Czechoslovakian immigrants, Edward T. Packard.

Packard sold his first model airplane in Cleveland in 1919 at the age of thirteen, a simple “Pushers Stick Model.” Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight conquering the Atlantic galvanized the aviation industry and jump-started his business, Cleveland Model and Supply Company, which at that time offered an extensive line of all-balsa wood model airplanes authentically replicating the early prototypes.

During World War II, Packard manufactured the most complete line of American, Allied, and foreign model airplanes, which led to a famous worldwide enterprise whose growth required the involvement of his parents and his four brothers and ultimately employed nearly one hundred people.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and illustrations. Portrait on title page.
