Louie took me to a graveyard of World War II airplanes being processed for scrap. Park remembers seeing 50 caliber machine guns rusting on wings and being amazed to see that many parts of the fighters were made like a U-control modelÑcloth painted with dope. Park took pieces of aluminum, which was a novelty at the time, and made jewelry and bellcranks, control horns and switchplates for my U-control planes.Ê One day I said to Louie, WouldnÕt it be neat to build an all aluminum scale airplane?
