3denclt^ CHARLEY TOTH
Shows you the fine points of the New N avion. Culver.
IF you happen to be probing around Kansas City's Municipal Airport sometime and your journey takes you to one of the largest aircraft operations on the field, you would know without looking at the big sign over the door that the place is Charley Toth's.
If a fellow walks up to you, puts a friendly arm on your shoulder and joins in the conversation about that gleaming new airplane, that friendly fellow is Charley Toth himself . . . probably one of the most agreeable men in the aircraft business, anywhere.
His graying temples reveal that Charley is not exactly a youngster. His ruddy complexion tells you that he is an active, out-of-doors man. Well, that wind-blown complexion is the result of peeking out from behind the windshield of aircraft in flight. Yes, aircraft dating way back to the old baling wire Jennys of 1919, powered by snorting OX-5 motors. Yes, Charley Toth is a pioneer in Kansas City aviation, and the position he now holds as one of this area's leading operators, was earned every inch of the way.
You talk with Charley and at the same time look over the new postwar airplane, a product of the builders of the famous Mustang, the new North American Navion, four-place personal airplane. You agree, too, that it's a marvelously engineered aircraft.
It will take off in 695 feet and climb at the rate of 830 feet per minute. It cruises at 150 miles per hour at 75 per cent of normal horsepower. It will fly 700 miles on one filling of gasoline, and consume no more per mile than the average automobile.
The Navion is upholstered like an automobile, with plenty of leg room and wonderful visability. The hatch slides straight back, enabling passengers to get in and out with ease. It is rugged, all metal, and safe as an airplane can possibly be built.
Charley has a Navion demonstrator right now and will gladly give you a demonstration ride, just like he did this visitor. Of course you will ask the same question we did: arc they available?
The answer is that North American is one of the largest aviation manufacturers in the world. They built thousands of Mustangs during the war, and are tooled and equipped right ncnv to pour the coal on the Navions. An order now will assure quick delivery.
And while looking around Charley's array of aircraft, our attention became glued on that New Culver, a two place plane at considerably less money than the Navion. The Culver is here, right now, and in numbers. Fliers call it a revelation in easy fly ing. The secret is the "SimpH-Fly," a gadget which not only thinks, but acts
