STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Today's archive page is from May 20, 1943.
Students at McKee Vocational High School, St. George, complete 210 model 172 Vultee U.S. A-31 dive bomber model planes.
The models will be used by the U.S. Navy in its independent courses for training future air officers.
They are made to scale and represent 4,800 hours of work on the part of 55 boys under the direction of Walter D. Wood, senior teacher in charge of the war training program.
Each model plane must be perfect in detail, down to the last tiny part, before being glued together.
