Wooden Propellors

You can't see the mechanic from your open cockpit. You yell�"Contact" and the propeller jumps to life, the plane starts to shudder. The mechanic pulls away the wheel blocks and escapes. The noise is incredible, a nine-cylinder Hispano-Suiza�spewing clouds of vaporized castor-oil. Complete cacophony....the propeller is by now an invisible whirr.

Some of the propellers were later suppled by an American propeller maker. Admire the shape and finish of a wood creation that once propelled daring aviators over uncharted landscapes. Feel the smooth, somewhat distressed, honey surface. The punched serial numbers around the hub. The authentic 1030s maker's decal....
