The Vintage Wings Collection is a set of five balsa wood flying toy airplanes by Guillow's, a trusted source in the industry since 1926. This collection includes the #26 Eagle, #30 Jetfire Glider, #43 Bullseye Bi-Plane, #50 Sky Streak Motorplane, and #55 Jetstream Motorplane.
These airplanes are crafted with attention to detail and offer a nostalgic touch. During World War II, balsa wood was scarce due to its military use in the production of rafts and life jackets.
Guillow's played a role in the war effort by supplying drone aircraft to help U.S. gunners improve their skills. In the post-war era, Guillow's shifted focus to producing affordable hand-launched and rubber-powered gliders.
The Vintage Wings Collection is a testament to the rich history and craftsmanship of Guillow's aviation memorabilia.
