American Junior Historic Archives DVD



Films of Jim Walker and American Junior are extremely hard to find. We have collected some of our rare film into this 55 minute DVD. You will see Jim Walker performing his famous "Sabre Dance" and showing off his Radio Controlled Lawnmower. You will be taken inside the American Junior Aircraft Company for the Factory Tour television broadcast from 1961. All images below are from material included in this DVD.

A bonus has been added to this DVD. A 1988 News Story on Frank Macy and his efforts to make classic American Junior planes again. See Frank Macy's production facility and Frank working with local elementary school kids as he teaches them to fly their own "74" Fighters.
