Description

Model planes, lifted from the ground by tiny motors no larger than a tea cup, will zoom and glide near the Z Boaz Municipal Golf Course all day Sunday as the Fort Worth Gas Model Association stages its annual free exhibition. Neal Snebold holds aloft his large plane as he studies the air for a thermal (rising current of air), which will send the ship skyward. Almost 200 entries are expected in the meet. Mr. Snebold is holding his model airplane in his right hand. He is wearing a hat. Star-Telegram Evening Edition August 15, 1940
