Eric's Collection - Group Photo

Here are some photos of Eric's gliders.  I like these photos because all of the gliders are there and together they look really nice and colorful.

The WWII Power Prop Flying Gliders are all there and I can see the "World Masterpiece-Flighter Super Gliders" in there too.  That is no spelling mistake.  The box actually says "Flighter" instead of "Fighter".  I will post pictures of my collection of those gliders at a later time.

Eric's Collection - Power Prop Flying Gliders Box

Fellow Power Prop Flying Glider enthusiast Eric has sent me some pictures of his collection of gliders.  First up are some pictures of the box.  I really like the graphics on the box.  Looking at Eric's pictures makes me want to take close up pictures of the illustrations and post them in the future sometime.

Glider Identification Question

I received a question from a John asking about some gliders that he found in an old relative's house.  I'm going to rely on the expertise of Eric to help identify them.  When do you think these were made Eric?
