Commercial illustrator J.C.

These popular images, known collectively as the Arrow Collar Man, became a cultural phenomenon that set a new standard for men’s fashion and beauty.

    Like an airplane, the autogiro is moved by an engine-powered propeller, but like a helicopter, lift is provided by a rotor. The rotor is not powered, and while the aircraft can land vertically, it cannot take off vertically. The Detroit News purchased this autogiro to gather news. The novel aircraft probably was better at making news!
