#PatchTuesday, June 2017, week 4

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Plymouth Motor Corporation sponsored a series of contests that culminated in the Plymouth International Model Plane Contests, more commonly known as the Internats.  As we approach Nats season, lets look at some of the event logos and memorabilia for today’s #PatchTuesday.

With the "PAL" wings at the center, this red, blue and white decal has "Plymouth 2nd International Model Plane Contest" around the outer edge.
Decal, 1948 Internats, National Model Aviation Museum Permanent Collection, 2006.01.75.
This decal has the glob crossed with a set of wings. "4th" is above this framed by stars and "Plymouth Motor Corp." is below.
Decal, 1950 Internats, National Model Aviation Museum Permanent Collection, 2006.01.78.
This decal was placed in the car to allow contestants onto the field. It is long, thin and white with orange text. "6th International Model Plane Contest" is at left and "Contestant" is in large letters to the right.
