FACTS AND FIGURES - and Skybird personalities - are still coming to light
through HOASKA - The Honerable Order of Anient Skybird Kit Assemblers.

HOASKA is a Contact Group, for not only all old "Skyleaguers" and all
those who built Skybird kits in the 1930s and '40s, but also for those
simply interested in this absorbing subject from the historical standpoint.
The "pre-plastics" era!

HOASKA is producing a bulletin, in which many hitherto unpublished items
about the kits and the (then) youngsters who assembled painted them,
will appear.

A VIDEO is in the course of production which will show Skybird kits and
models (from the collections of A. G. Sinclair and others) - in full
colour, and being handled, to give "Scale" - and "reality" !!

SEVERAL old Skybird modellers have already been put in touch by HOASKA,
and the bulletin provides free advertisements for those seeking old 
modelling friends, acquaintences or clubmates.
