    Description

    A vintage 1930s Parasol 42" wingspan R/C model
    Plans were featured in
    Aviation Modeller International (AMI)
    Jimmy Allen
    was a fictional character popular in the 1930's during the "Golden Age of Aviation" in America. Many oil companies Skelly, Richfield, Pocahontas, British American in Canada, and other companies ran Jimmy Allen radio features. Kits for rubber powered Jimmy Allen airplanes were available for sale, or as prizes, in company locations. Dudley Field, the Chief Pilot for Richfield Oil Company, occasionally made public appearances as "Jimmy Allen" in California in the 1930's. A friend of mine gave me some copper Richfield "Jimmy Allen" wings a few years ago. The Flying Aces group and some of the SAM contests feature Jimmy Allen events.
    J. A. Racer --  also know as the B.A. Parasol (1939).  The Skokie or B.A. Cabin and the
    Jimmy Allen Racer or B-A Parasol
    were both designed for the Canadian Jimmy Allen Contests, which were sponsored by
    British American Oil
    , which Graham thinks was the Canadian subsidiary of Skelly Oil.
