Boeing B-17F "The Memphis Belle" Signed by: Colonel Robert K. Morgan, deceased Scale: 1/54 The B-17 Flying Fortress, "Memphis Belle," piloted by then Captain Robert K. "Bob" Morgan USAAF, was one of 12,750 B17's built by the Boeing Aircraft Co. Morgan made the Belle one of the most famous heavy bombers in the European theater of WWII by flying her to complete 25 combat missions and returning with her entire crew alive. She flew for 7 months from 7 November 1942 until 17 May 1943. ONLY 3 left in inventory! |

Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk Signed by: Gen. David Lee "Tex" Hill Scale: 1/54 The Curtis P-40 was the first fighter flown in action against the Japanese forces in Burma before the official U.S. entry into WWII. "Tex" was one of the very first to volunteer to fly and fight with the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers). He went on to serve two tours in China emerging with 18 1/4 aerial victories to become one of America's leading aces. |

B-25 "Doolittle" Signed by: Richard Cole, Thomas Griffin & Captain David M. Jones Scale: 1/48 As dawn broke on 18 April 1942, this B-25 flown by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle and his co-pilot Colonel Richard Cole was the first of the lumbering bombers to catapult down the heaving deck of the USS Hornet on their way to bomb Toyko. |

P-51D Mustang Glamorous Glen III Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/24 General Yeager was assigned to the 357th Fighter Group in which he flew combat missions over Europe in WWII. On his eighth mission he was shot down over German-occupied France. He was able to escape and made his way back home through Spain. While in combat Chuck downed thirteen enemy aircraft including five ME-109's on a single day and one of Germany's first jet fighters. |

Rocket Research Plane Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/32 On 14 October 1947 General (then captain) Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager became the first person to fly faster then the speed of sound. At 10:30am on that fall morning Chuck piloted the X-1 to a speed of Mach 1.06 (700mph) at 43,000 feet above the high desert of California. |

Bell X-1A Rocket Research Plane Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/32 The new generation X-1's were created to investigate aerodynamic phenomenon above Mach 2 and above 90,000 feet. They were to serve as the next logical step beyond the original three X-1's, and they would also be utilized to explore more esoteric segment of High-Mach, high altitude envelopes. Chuck Yeager set a record speed of Mach 2.44 (1,650mph) on 12 December 1953. |

Northrop X-4 Bantam Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/32 Chuck Yeager made a number of test flights in this research plane. The X-4 was designed to test the tailless, or semi-tailless, configuration at transonic speeds of approximately Mach .85. Numerous aerodynamicists had concluded that by doing away with the horizontal tail surfaces, transonic aircraft problems could be solved. |

Convair XF-92A Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/32 As an experimental test pilot Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager test flew this research plane. The XF-92 was the first delta-winged aircraft. It made its first flight on 18 September 1948 as a flying mock-up to test the delta wing configuration, a phase in the developement of the projected XF-92 jet and rocket-powered fighter. This would lay the groundwork for further aircraft of this type. |

Douglas X-3 Stiletto Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/32 This exotic research plane was tested a number of times by Chuck Yeager and was designed to explore high-speed aerodynamic phenomenon to speeds of Mach 2. Additionally, it was to prove the feasibility of using low-aspect-ratio, high-load wings, and titanium construction in aircraft. Although it made some significant contributions to our knowledge about "inertial coupling", it had a tendency to diverge from the flight path at near supersonic speeds. |

ON SALE: Boeing F-51D Eagle Signed by: Gen. Charles E. Yeager Scale: 1/48 On 14 October 1947, Chuck Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. On the 50th anniversary of this event, Chuck commemorated it by flying the F-51D, Glamorous Glennis, through the sound barrier at the exact time and place. |
