This was a freebee somewhere (possibly potato chips / crisps ?) in Italy in the 1970's. These came with different name of planets.

VTOL Convair XFY-1 Vertical Riser
Landing aircraft without the need of big landing strips has always been in the mind of the military. This VTOL (=Vertical Take-Off and Landing) plane with its double propellors is an early attempt of the US Navy in this field. It really was one of the stranger designs in aeronautics.

Tin futuristic airplane
| World Jet Airlines, Crown (?), Hong Kong, 1970's |
This plane was a gift from a fellow Portuguese toy collector (thanks Paulo !) and has the same "rainbow" function as the aircar from Japan you can see here.
Cute litlle toy, half plastic, half tin. Friction powered. Now I'll just ask if some airline companies could take this paintscheme... it certainly would make life at the airports much more cheerful !

Italian aliens and spaceships on a diet
.... well, not really, because they came as a premium in candy packages...
But the figurines are really flat, and you have to ask yourself : what did the toy designers smoke to make some of these ?
The material is a bakelite-type of plastic and they are about 3 / 3.5cm tall.
