Old Pictures - Name The Planes and Pilots (Easy) Guess the Year
« on: December 03, 2016, 10:06:26 AM »
Guys,

Based on some feedback I was able to simply hold the slide to the camera lens and get a reasonable, though not outstanding reproduction of the slides of some old Nats.

Here's a few samples, hopefully I can have all of them done professionally soon.

Chuck,

Great stuff....love those old pictures.

The only one I can identify, is the "Miss Kell", which I think was designed
by Bob Whitely.   It made the cover of one of the mags....MAN, I believe.

Keep those photos coming.

And welcome back to the controline clan.  You know what they say
about the second time around....enjoy.

Cheers.

On the last photo-  the owner of the Dornier I don't know (on the left). The other two gents are Jim Dunkin and Bill Wright.  They weren't stunt fliers.  They were on the USA Team a couple times in Tean Race and finished 2nd once.  They are hometown KC boys.  The center photo is a Gene Shafer airplane.  I imagine that's Mike Stotts Chipmunk.

Last photo, holding the plane, looked like Ron Howard to me initially

OK being a smart ass...too young to know any of those guys....grin

I love all the old photo compendiums.... keep them coming

Sad because we have no 8mm or any photos of me and brothers playing with model airplanes in the 60~70s....and every day after homework and each weekend activity in Oakland Ca...

Always thought that Do 335 would make a good ' near scale ' stunt ship . Had a OS 30 & a OS 10 back then , long shaft to rear prop ,
the blast & inertia should eep the rear one turning . same size .  ;D

Maybe its a Chipmunk with the Chipmunk  paint scheme , in the one thats hard to pick out .  H^^
