Guillows Sopwith Camel - 18 Inch Wingspan Rubber Or .010 Gas Powered Freeflight Aircraft, 105

It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. NOTE missing one decal, (1) of (2) optional top wing 'windows' which Guillow's chose to represent with small rectangle decals. Guillow's founder, Paul K. Guillow, was a WWI naval aviator. In 1926 he began producing wooden model airplane kits. His 'Shelf Models' were some of the earlier non-flying models in production. Guillow's grew during the model boom of the 1930s, and when the Depression hit the hardest, Guillow's responded with lower prices and became one of the low price leaders, frequently advertising in Model Airplane News and other leading publications. During the war, like most manufacturers, Guillow's was forced to alternative materials such as cardboard and pine. Guillow's survived the post WWII slump by creating many inexpensive profile flying rubber powered aircraft and gliders in the 1950s (along with North Pacific) which became famous - some are still available today. The stick and tissue lines have been updated with laser cut parts and are still in production as of 2009.
