A-J Classics Short Takes Film Library

Rare films of Jim Walker and the American Junior Aircraft Company

See the Fireball in action as Jim Walker performs his Sabre Dance using only a two-speed ignition control.
Another Jim Walker novelty proves that R/C is not just for model airplanes, as we look at his early radio control lawnmower.
In our exclusive A-J Factory tour, we see balsa model airplanes in the construction phase. A rare film from a 1961 live television broadcast.
