Flying saucer model maker draws crowd at capital show

Matthews, a scientist from Silver Spring Maryland, showcased a new 18 inch diameter model saucer powered by a Foster 29 engine at Andrews Air Force Base last weekend. The craft rose to 50 feet and reached 80 mph for a short distance while using a bell crank tail control and steel guy wires. His first, built for about five dollars, stayed aloft only ten seconds, yet Uncle Sam funded the project with over a million dollars in war bonds as the model tour continued.
