The Dr1 is the airplane most associated with Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, known as the "Ace of Aces" for his 80 air victories. Richthofen was decorated with the Iron Cross in 1914. He spent more time in other planes, but used this one at the end of his career when he was best known. The airplane was painted red to suggest the blood of his opponents. After a wing broke off an Albatros DIII, Richthofen wrote to Anthony Fokker, who came out to watch the DIII in action, then went back and developed the Dr1. Richthofen's 60th victory was his first in this airplane.

The Albatros fighters are famous for being the airplane of Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, who flew the DII and DIII versions as well as this one, the DVa. The DVa was introduced in May 1917, with several improvements for lower drag and higher performance. It was the most perfectly streamlined fighter of the pre-1920 period. However, the newer Allied fighters such as the Sopwith Camel (made famous by Snoopy) outclassed the Albatros DVa, as its lower wing tended to break in a prolonged dive.

The F-14 is shown launching off the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier. It takes so much power to build up the flight speed needed to launch from a carrier that some aircraft sink down a bit from flight deck level after they are off the ship. Not the F-14! This is a simple enough view to draw, but an actual photograph from this angle would clearly be rather difficult and dangerous.

The first fighter deliberately built to withstand 9-g turns. This tactical fighter has been extremely flexible, developing many roles beyond the original design. Its bubble canopy and mouth-like single engine make it one of the most recognizable jet fighters. Its fly-by-wire design led to the pilots' saying, "You don't fly the F-16, it flies you."

An early monoplane, this fighter had an open cockpit, wire-braced wing, and fixed landing gear. Though starting to think of all-metal construction, designers weren’t quite there yet. It was produced, and mostly used, in the early 1930s, but some flew until 1955. Its maximum speed at sea level was 235 mph, and it was armed with two machine guns and 200 pounds of bombs.

Called the Stearman, Boeing-Stearman, or Kaydet, this biplane was the basic WWII military trainer. Its wings were wood and fabric, but its fuselage was fabric-covered steel. It was a forgiving first ariplane for the student, learning to fly from the front cockpit. Many original Stearmans survived as cropdusters and sport planes.

This is the world's fastest aircraft at least as far as anyone officially knows. It broke the transatlantic speed record at 1 hour 45 minutes. It is also famous for wide turns; it takes several (western!) states to make a 1-g turn.

The Ralph Schomp fire truck came from Franklin, Minnesota, and only has about 2000 miles on it. It is shown in the design in front of an old fire house. The Ralph Schomp company bought it on eBay a few years ago, looking specifically for a 1941 truck because 1941 was the year Ralph Schomp founded his dealerships. It gets driven in local parades such as Western Welcome Week and the Fallen Firefighters Memorial.

'41 Chevy T-shirts

On the adult t-shirts, the scene is on the back of the shirt, with a small view on the front pocket. On the youth and toddler (pocketless) t-shirts, the scene is on the front. All shirts are white.

The truck is parked in front of Littleton's old Town Hall, which used to keep a fire truck on its main floor. The truck was called a chemical truck because the big brass tank carried water and the other tanks carried bicarbonate of soda to pressurize the water. Pressurization allowed the water to shoot a long way, which was important for the protection of several mills and other tall buildings in Littleton. The truck’s engine is started with a crank, and it has a dual-chain drive, just like a bicycle. These days, the chemical truck is usually parked in the show window at the City of Littleton building.
