Jim Walker's A.J. (American
Junior) Aircraft Company began operation in 1929, with no way of knowing the doom and gloom that
would befall the country in October of the year when the Stock Market crashed and triggered what would
become known as The Great Depression. By the time we had begun to come recover from the financial tragedy,
World War II was at our doorstep, and a lot of raw materials - balsawood for airframes, metal for
engines, rubber for wheels - was being directed toward the defense equipment and supply buildup, supplies
were hard to come by. It was a really bad time to be starting a new business. The passion for all things
that flew was so strong that the American Junior Aircraft Company managed to survive and even thrive
in spite of the restrictions. In all
A.J.
Aircraft Co. turned out 232 million models during its existence - amazing!
