This is another of the vintage aviation & modelling magazines reproduction web
sites. Garry has gathered a large collection of plans, many by Earl Stahl (who
produced model plans in the 1940s), from such magazines as Bill Barnes Air Trails
and Model Airplane News, and has reproduced them. The plans are
available in .TIF format (and are saved in ZIP files). There are also .PDF Adobe
Acrobat files, and some .BMP files.
The collection has been growing since February of 2002 and includes many "scale" plans, in addition to competition free flight designs.

Grumman G.22 "Gulfhawk II"
By Alan D. Booton
(Scanned From December 1937 Air Trails)
The air-minded youngsters of to-day invariably visualize a trim, speedy plane when
associated with Major Al Williams, who has a most enviable record with fast ships.
The latest Williams Gulfhawk is the Grumman G22. built especially for him. This amazing
little ship is powered with a Wright, single-row Cyclone of 1,000 h.p. and has a top speed
of 290 m.p.h. The G22 differs only slightly from the navy fighter. The beautiful color
scheme of orange, striped with blue and white, stands out under almost any light condition
and can easily be one of the handsomest models to grace your collection. The model has
been designed carefully to preserve the sleek lines and features. It is extremely fast and
stable with the proper adjustments made.
