Bell X-1 with a B-29 - 1949
The Bell X-1, originally designated XS-1, was a joint NACA-U.S. Army/US Air Force supersonic research project built by Bell Aircraft. Conceived in 1944 and designed and built over 1945, it eventually reached nearly 1,000 mph (1,609 km/h) in 1948.
A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and thus longer engine-burn time, exceeded 1,600 mph (2,574 km/h) in 1954.
The X-1 was the first aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in controlled, level flight, and was the first of the so-called X-planes, an American series of experimental aircraft designated for testing of new technologies and usually kept highly secret. - Wikipedia

Chuck Yeager and his Bell X-1
Bell X-1, originalmente designado como XS-1, é um avião supersônico experimental construído pela Bell Aircraft Corporation para a Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos em 1947. É o primeiro avião da família X-planes, uma série de aeronaves experimentais dos Estados Unidos, construídas com o objetivo de testar novas tecnologias e geralmente mantidas sob sigilo. Em 14 de outubro de 1947, tornou-se o primeiro avião a superar a velocidade do som, pilotado pelo Capitão da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos Charles "Chuck" Yeager. Neste vôo, o de número 50 do X-1, foi atingido Mach 1,06. O X-1 era lançado de um bombardeiro B-29 modificado. Após a separação, eram acionados motores de foguete (Reaction Motors XLR-11, na primeira versão), capazes de levar a aeronave a um vôo supersônico. - Wikipedia

A Brief History Of Paper Models In The WW2 - by Philip Koopman, Sr. Uma Breve História Do Papelmodelismo Na Segunda Guerra


Photobucket
Paper models of all types are popular in many countries. Called Paper-Card Modeling in Europe, it spans the range from simple folded-paper darts, to complex three-dimensional models of airplanes, ships and buildings. During WWII, all materials were in short supply. Those that were available had restricted use. Obviously, toys were at the bottom of the list. These restrictions ruled out metal toys — wood and paper were about all that was available. The U.S. toymakers switched to toys and games that used paper and other nonstrategic materials. Even here, shortages of printing ink lead to some rather bizarre-colored paper models. One style of paper-model construction used was developed by Wallis Rigby, an Englishman, who had moved his company to the U.S. in the late 1930s. Rigby was internationally know for his paper models of airplanes, boats and trains prior to WWII. These books featured Tab-and-Slot construction. He is generally credited with this method of paper-model construction. Rigby's realistic models gained much publicity during WWII. The wartime demand for toys had to be met with nonstrategic materials. Paper models filled the void.

Mr. Rigby with some of his models
Rigby's models were published as individual books and boxed sets. And, individual aircraft models, like the Douglas Dauntless, were published in newspapers as part of the colored Sunday Comic Section. This product popularity even led to Newsreel coverage of Rigby, showing the steps used to design, build and fly one of his paper-model airplanes. Cereal makers, too, felt the material-shortage pinch for premiums. Simplified paper-airplane models, similar to those of Rigby, were used as cereal premiums for General Mills in 1944. Mail in two box tops from Wheaties cereal and you received a pair of paper airplanes. General Mills gave away thousands of these models as part of a nation-wide contest. Backing this was a publicity campaign, showing Veterans in hospitals building the models. A contest held at Nebraska's Boy's Town garnered national Newsreel coverage, too. In all, paper-airplane models gave thousands of kids and adults their first try at model building. After the end of WWII, material restrictions lifted and toy companies returned to making toys and models of metal, balsa wood and even some of the new plastics. Paper models rapidly disappeared from the U.S. Market. The now-common plastic models replaced the paper airplanes. Only a few publishers continued to print paper models. - Philip Koopman, Sr.

Modelos de papel de todos os tipos são populares em muitos países. Chamados de "modelos de papel cartão" na Europa, que abrange desde modelos simples de dobrar e colar aos modelos mais complexos, tridimensionais de aviões, navios e edifícios. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, todos os materiais eram escassos. Aqueles que estavam disponíveis tinham severas restrições de utilização. Obviamente, os brinquedos estavam no final da lista de produtos prioritários. Brinquedos de metal nem pensar, já que todo tipo de metal disponível era usado na fabricação de armamentos. Restava então o papel. Os fabricantes de brinquedos dos EUA começaram então a criar brinquedos e jogos de papel e outros materiais não-estratégicos. Mesmo assim, a escassez de material de impressão fez com que alguns modelos fossem impressos com misturas de diversos restos de tinta, criando paper models com cores bem bizarras.Um estilo de modelismo em papel que ficou muito popular na época foi desenvolvido por Wallis Rigby, um britânico, que transferiu sua empresa para os EUA no final de 1930. Rigby ficou internacionalmente conhecido por suas criações de papel de aviões, barcos e trens, anteriores à Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Nabisco "Flying Circus" - Rigby`s WW2 Era Paper Model
Este tipo de publicação ficou conhecida como modelos de dobrar e colar, numa tradução livre. Os modelos realistas do Sr. Rigby ficaram mais conhecidos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, pois a demanda por brinquedos teve que ser atendida exclusivamente com materiais não-estratégicos. Os modelos de papel preencheram este nicho. Os modelos de papel do Sr. Rigby eram publicados em revistas individuais e também em coleções, acondicionadas em caixas. Modelos de aeronaves individuais, como o avião Dauntless Douglas, foram publicados em cores, em jornais dominicais da época. Devido a grande popularidade destes modelos, também publicavam-se nos jornais reportagens especiais mostrando as várias etapas de desenvolvimento de um modelo: projeto, montagem e como fazer voar um desses aviões de papel. Os fabricantes de cereais também estampavam modelos variados nas caixas de seus produtos. Modelos de aviões de papel bem simples, semelhantes aos de Rigby, foram utilizadas como brindes nas caixas de cereais da General Mills em 1944. Você juntava duas tampas das caixas desses cereais e enviava pelo correio e então você recebia, também pelo correio, um par de aviões de papel. A General Mills distribuiu milhares destes modelos como parte de um concurso nacional. Faziam também campanha publicitária, mostrando veteranos de guerra em hospitais, distraídos com a montagem dos modelos, como uma espécie de terapia ocupacional. Naquela época, esses simples modelos de papel, com cores estranhas, deram à milhares de crianças e adultos a primeira experiência no mundo do modelismo. Com o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial e também das restrições de materiais estratégicos, os fabricantes de brinquedos voltaram a fazer brinquedos e modelos de metal, madeira balsa e também com novos tipos de plásticos, desenvolvidos durante a guerra . Com isso, os modelos de papel rapidamente desapareceram do mercado dos EUA. Os modelos de plástico, agora um material popular, substituiram os aviões de papel. Apenas alguns poucos editores continuaram a imprimir modelos de papel. - Philip Koopman, Sr.
