Every Boy In Your Troop Has Been Eagerly Awaiting
This New And Timely Program!
New! Exciting! Here is an activity that's spreading from coast to coast! To
further the Air Scout Program of the Boy Scouts of America and in keeping
with the Government's intense interest in a Model Plane Building Program,
we have developed an Official Air Scout Spotter Model Series as a means
of aiding wartime personnel in identifying planes. Scouts throughout the
Nation have already supplied thousands of these model planes . . . with
hundreds of thousands yet needed for the training of pilots, observers and
competent spotters. Here is a vital war service YOU R Troop may contribute
to the Nation at War! This outstanding program is YOUR program! Start
now in doing your share in turning the unskilled hands of today ... into the
Aviation experts of tomorrow! Make YOUR Troop alert — scientifically
trained in airplane design and fundamentals! If your Troop is not partici-
pating in this National Program ... BEGIN TODAY! The Official Air Scout
Spotter Model Plane Kits are complete in every detail. They're so simple,
so easy to assemble! Each Official Air Scout Spotter Model Plane Kit con-
tains accurately scaled, precision-machined parts of sturdy western pine ...
not balsa wood. The graphic, easy to follow illustrated instructions will give
hours of enjoyment to the beginner as well as to the most experienced model
plane builder. Moreover, the Official Spotter Mode! Plane Kit does not
require carving tools! Everything you will need is included in the attractively
boxed carton . . . templates — sandpaper — and glue. So start TODAY!
