The picture on thr far right is Chet Derby also if you look at the last two pictures on right of the wall that is Chet also.
A model of his PT-17 Stearman he flew in the 1950's is sitting on top (right corner).
He was a stunt pilot in the late 40's to early 50's.
This was his most famous stunt flying under the wing of a B-29 Bomber during a 1949 Oakland Airshow.Which made headlines all over the country when that happened.

Wow, nice collection! Glad to see them all behind glass where they won't collect dust.

Question: do you save the boxes and packing materials, or toss them when you put the planes on the shelves?

I keep all the boxes and etc...I have a large attic to use to put all of them in there.
I'll be adding another curio in the next few weeks and i then sould have all my collection displayed.
