Looks like somebody had a very good look at the engine installation of the Curtiss P-6E...Martin K - 20/09/2024
The Publisher should be changed to Tomasco (Toledo Model Airplane Supply Co.), who already have 7 models listed in The Venerable OZ.
Looking up https://easybuiltmodels.com/A%20Story%20About..., "Jimmy Allen was a fictional character popular in the 1930s 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".
A Simple Search for "Jimmie Allen" will reveal a few minor gems too.

Aha, got it. Have set this as Tomasco now. Many thanks :)

Miguel, That article on the Easy Built Models site looks like the same one that is on the Flying Aces Club web site.

The Word must be spread, innit? Attribution makes it better, though :-)

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
