Ah, OK. I have seen this one before. Of course I know about George Bogardus' "little Gee Bee".That;'s just been restored, in fact. Don't forget that Wimpy was a much beloved character in those days. it was common to name airplanes after them. Art Chester, for instance, with the Jeep, and Steve Wittman's Buster and Bonzo. Les sodl a good few kits in the thirties. Probably only Corben and Heath did any better in that department. Bertie Wimpy --the hamburger-eating guy in Popeye? Our language certainly has changed. I suppose today he would have designed an sold a "KENNY!" or Cartman. Though I'm dating myself with those references... Dan Mc |

Yep. it's almost certainly named after him. Our language certainly has changed. I suppose today he would have designed an sold a "KENNY!" or Cartman. Though I'm dating myself with those references... Prolly. But yeh, there was a lot of that in the thirties. The characters were really popular. So was aviation. Race pilots were like rock stars back then. Bertie |
