Question #7:

What was the name and year of the broadhead named after the United State's famous warplane of W.W. II?

Big Boar · 07-27-2011, 06:36 AM

How about the 1944 Glenn St. Charles Thunderbolt (P-47)

Greg....It looks like their is more than one broadhead named after a W.W.II warplane. I did not find any mention of the Thunderbolt in any of the ABCC publications but did google W.W.II warplanes and confirmed your answer there.

I did find reference in two ABCC publications about this head. Hmmm....I wonder how many more heads were named after W.W.II warplanes.

Question #7 Answer:

Fred Mosher of Grand Rapids, Michigan manufactured the Spit-Fire, named after the United State's famous warplane of W.W. II, in the early 1940's. Eleven different variation of the Spit-Fire are listed in the ABCC Master List, and is the first head known on which a water-transfer decal was used for it's name.

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft (some twin seater's were built for training purpose after the war) which was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War.
During WWII, Spitfires were used by the USAAF in the 4th Fighter Squadron Until replaced by P-47 Thunderbolts in March 1943.
The Spitfire was the only British fighter aircraft to be in continuous production before, during and after the Second World War.

Shep....I enjoyed the information that you and Dustman added. That's what this little exercise is for, to stretch the mind with broadhead knowledge.

OK...I did a little digging through some old ABCC Newsletters "BROADHEAD" over the weekend and came up with another mind teaser

Question #8:

The Ex-Calibre .45 & .50, and the Browning Serpentine broadheads all feature radically curved blades sometimes likened to a corkscrew or apple corer. From the list of broadhead manufacturers below, which other manufacturer once experimented with but never marketed a similar model?

a. Herter's
b. Hilbre
c. Pinecrest
d. Ace

Waldo....one star coming up, now where did I put it

Knock...knock...knock.....Shep....your spending way too much time in the library

Question #8 Answer:

a. Herter's. In the 1960's Herter's Inc. did some experimenting with the corkscrew design and a few prototype models were actually produced. This design was never offered for sale by Herters and today the few models of the head seen in collections rank among the rarest of all broadheads.
