    List, KT & JD -

    As for the most beautiful airplanes of the "Golden Era" - ask someone from
Wichita, the Air Capital of the World. A recent survey in a pilots' magazine
asked this very question - and the Staggerwing Beech won by a large margin. In
flight, from most every angle, the Staggerwing looked terrific. Their have
been many others that were almost as sweet, but "Walter done it right"!
    As an aside, the Lear (another great looking plane from Doodah) - was
orginally designed in Switzerland as a fighter plane.
