FLAGSTAFF II HYDROFOIL MODULAR CONTRACTOR'S MODEL. Set consisting of hull on stand, with 11 interchangeable superstructure and upper deck modules, showing different configuration possibilities, all in wood and metal, the base in wood, contained in a custom wood storage box. Hull 13-3/4 inches long, 11 inches wide. Provenance: Manufactured by a major aerospace model shop. The Flagstaff hydrofoil was developed by Grumman in the late 1960s, competing with Boeing's "Tucumcari" hydrofoil for sale to worldwide naval forces.
