British 1940 Composite airplanes {Dog Shit}

Postby grwebster » Sun Apr 04, 2010 6:19 am

I was going through some albums and found this series of photos- I probably posted them before on the old Yahoo site so for those that didn't see them, here there are.
They were made from a composite which is hard but not plastic, the dealers and collectors in the UK referred to the material as dog shit. I assume some were made at the beginning of the war as they used non-strategic materials, but raw material shortages continued after the war so perhaps they were all post war. Certainly the B-29 would be a very late wartime addition to the line. Barry? Do you know anything about them?
Never expensive but nice novelty additions to a collection.
