This is the Carrier toy we had up at Grandma's in Illinois. Had a rubber band at the bottom and I guess that yellow lever to release the planes into the air. Have yet to find anything about this toy anywhere.

I remember that! I believe it was re-released in the late-70s as a "Baa-Baa Black Sheep" toy.

WHOOOOOA!!!!
I had one of those when I was 5 or so. I had forgotten all about it. I'm having a serious flashback now. The "catapult" was a plastic strip in the center of the deck. The yellow lever both cranked the strip back and launched the planes. It was beyond cool. Thanks for posting that. Really. |

Holy Flashback!
My neighbor had one and you had to tweak the wings a bit to get them to fly true. It was cool! |

Right next to the 50 cent pocket combs. |

I had a carrier similar to that, but it had a pistol grip and you "shot" it to launch the planes. The planes looked similar to the ones in the photo. This was maybe 1975-76 or so?

You could launch the planes with a smaller launcher too. I lost several of those planes. We used them as weapons trying to hit other kids in the hood. I loved that toy.

Had one! If I remember the LH plane launched with a rubber band, the Rh plane attached to the catapault, when the yellow handle was yanked it pulled a clear plastic band in the center of the deck moving the ac forward and launching it.
Was alot of fun 35 years or so ago! |

First off, wasn't that long ago, I'd venture to guess early 80's? the planes were a soft neoprene/rubber material, as a matter of fact, when I go to clean out my stuff that my mom humped around with her, I bet I'll find that, my original GI Joes, and my alltime favorite notalgic toys, "Heroes in Action". |

When I was little I had a red plastic jet, that the front was an open hole like the end of a pipe. You tied a string to the end of one wing, and when you swung it around in circles the air going through the fuselage made it go r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. I played with that thing for hours.

Hey, when I was a kid I had the 90's version of that. With F-14's!!
I played with that thing for hours a day. I was an only child, so I was flying missions all over the house. What a depressing childhood now that I think back. |
