Abstract:

Scrapbooks documenting Hangar 13, a boys’ club organized by the Beloit, Wisconsin Y.M.C.A. in 1928, devoted to the promotion of model aviation. Club members designed and constructed model aircraft, and engaged in competitive flying of their models. The club was active from 1928 to 1944, the period covered by the first six scrapbooks. The last three volumes document reunions of the group in 1984, 1988, and 1989. Included in the collection are photographs, financial reports, clippings, ribbons, flight lists, contest materials, catalogs, activity announcements, agendas, club rating qualifications, air show programs, winner lists, instructional materials, plane lists, alumni lists, correspondence, and other memorabilia.
