Good article! I like reading about the early industry, along with building kits. I always liked Monogram kits. They had a toy feature to them in particularly The folding wongs and retractably landing gear. NO one does this now. I would like to know about a particular Aurora kit of the Cessna 315. I built this as a kid and would like to build another.
