Plastic Model Kit

  When the unique Vee-tailed Beechcraft Bonanza first appeared, many fliers were startled when they realized there were only two tail surfaces, instead of the usual three.

The Bonanza became a popular private plane, somewhat in the category of a Cadillac or Lincoln of the sky.

Staggerwing pilots of note, like Louise Thaden, Jacqueline Cochran and  Max Constant, made history at the Bendix Races in the '30s.

In those days, it was said, "It takes a Beechcraft to beat a Beechcraft." People in the know still approach a Staggerwing with a hushed respect usually reserved for royalty
