    DOUGLAS SKY ROCKET NAVY JET IN BOX FRICTION N MINT WORKS WITH TIP 18" JAPAN RARE. Here is an excellent example of this large rocket/ jet made in the 1950's. Beautify lithographed with all tin construction. Navy plane B-335. Made by Bandai Japan. Model #350. Has a few scratches here and there. A very small area of surface rust on the back wing edge. Small area above the back wheel that is a little misshapen, I really feel this was how it was made just not 100% sure. The pilot and cockpit are there, the red spark shield is there. It does have a flint but, doesn't spark. The wheel may have had stone or sandpaper on it at one time that helped the spark, that is gone. It even has the long plastic nose tip. With the tip it's 21 inches long and 10.5 inch wingspan. The friction motor works great. The large box has relatively light wear. One corner looks to have been glued. Otherwise very nice for such a large box. I have had this over 20 years placed in plastic. Rare to find it in this condition in a very nice box. Please check out my other toys. Please ask any question that you may have. Thank you, Dave
    The
    Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket
    (D-558-II) was a rocket
    AND
    a jet-powered supersonic research aircraft built by Douglas for the United States Navy. On November 20th 1953, just before the 50th anniversary of the Wright Brother's powered flight, Scott Crossfield piloted the Skyrocket to Mach 2 (more than 1,290 mph!!) which was the first time an aircraft had exceeded twice the speed of sound. There is a great write up on Wikipedia about this aircraft.
