Saw a tv ad this morning for Boeing. Lots of neat aircraft vid clips, including the XB-70 taking off. Now, Boeing bought North American in 1996... forty years after losing the competition for the design.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Did the ad include promotion for a Chinese mainland production line?
I do believe this would be a good example of "fate".

Ahhhh, yes. One of my all-time favorite movies - "The Great Race". Peter Falk was a hoot in that one, too, as well as Tony Curtiss.

I worked for three aerospace companies during my career. Two ended up getting subsumed by Boeing (NA and MDC). Third, Honeywell, was acquired by Allied Signal though it kept the Honeywell name as being better known. I seem to be a curse to any company :-(
I loved the XB-70, did a scratch model before any kit available.

As a matter of fact, there actually was such a race run in 1908, and Tony Curtis' car was a pretty good match for the winning Thomas Flyer. No picture survives of Professor Fate's automobile.
I have never seen it, and I'm thinkin' it may stay that way. Although I do remember the part where Prof. Fate shoots the Eiffel Tower.
How did they do that?

The Hannibal 8 from the movie is , apparently, a popular model with scratch builders:
