I AM NOT SELLING A KIT, only a new, full-size clean copy of a kit PLAN for a 48" Comet CURTISS ROBIN as seen in the picture.

The CURTISS ROBIN, with a radial engine, was used by Douglas Corrigan in his famous (infamous?) flight to Ireland in 1938. The CAA had condemned his raggedy plane and gave him a one-trip-only permit to fly it back to California. He took off in the morning in New Jersey and landed the next day in Ireland. He said his compass must have been stuck and he thought he was flying west when he was actually flying east! After a wild reception in Ireland, a homecoming ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue in New York and a Hollywood movie in which he played himself, he wrote the autobiography "That's My Story" (and I'm sticking to it). Forever he was known as "Wrong-Way" Corrigan.  

I have a large packet of original documents for the CURTISS ROBIN model airplane and full-size airplane. As a BONUS I include excellent 3-views and scale documentation to increase your admiration of this airplane, as well as a copy of Popular Aviation’s 1938 article featuring Douglas Corrigan. You’ll not find a more thorough offering.

This will come folded in a manila envelope.
