Scope and content
John Joseph Kelly (kneeling front), age 11, posed with his model airplane, the Moncoop No. 110, on April 4, 1936 before its maiden voyage off the top of the garage. Pictured around the young model builder are his fans, left to right, his brother Robert Emmett Kelly, age 4; Stanley Everett Johnson, age 9; and the five year old Brown twins, Richard and Willard. The plane flew only a few moments before crashing into the concrete sidewalk. John took his battered plane and headed back to the drawing board. (filed with Argentum) (Bremerton Sun 5/16/1936, pg. 1)
