A friend of mine that passed away last year was one of the toy designers for Remco. We figured out that some of my favorite ones were ones he designed.

I'm surprised I never owned the Flying Fox, but I did have a Jimmy Jet.

$14.98 in 1959 was a pretty pricey toy. That's equivalent to $160.75 at current values.
