Ludington Is Birthplace of Plywood Airplanes Ludington is given full credit for being the birthplace of the present-day plywood pdanes, including the prominent Mosquito model and others in current full-page advertisements of the Haskelite Manufacturing Corp. in trade magazines of the aviation industry. The Haskelite firm, started in Ludington during World War subsequently moved to Grand Rapids, was organized and operated for a number of years by the late Henry L.

Haskell, pioneer plywood manufacturer and Many local people, friends of Mr. Haskell, can recall the experimentation he did in Ludington in adapting plywood construction for planes more than a quarter of century ago. The current Haskelite advertisement bears the caption: "Two Dates that Made History in Structural Plywood." The first date is the year 1917 when, the ad says, "The lightweight structural strength wood veneers laminated and molded to curved forms in one-piece, was proved by Henry Haskell of Ludington, Michigan. His experiments led to the building and sale of the one-piece canoe bearing his name. The fact that some of these are still in regular service after 25 years provides an impressive demonstration of the durability of this lightweight construction.

From this pioneer one-piece shell to the structural strength required in modern aircraft was a logical step." And one, the ad might have stated, which Mr. Haskell vi- sioned and did much to foster. Second date in the advertisement is the year i937, in which year the Fairchild F-46 was the first successful plane of the molded plywood type. It was a development stemming from cpntinous research in plywood since the early with Henry Haskell's canoe." The advertisement includes a picture of the Fairchild model and an early one, familiar to many Ludington residents, showing the Haskell canoe supported off the ground at either end with seven men along the center of the craft, proof of its unusual sturdincss.
