Kellogg’s PEP Gliders

Back in the early 40s, WWII was supplanting the Golden Age of aviation and model aviation.  Kids that grew up on models and dreams of Lucky Lindy were enlisting to become fighter pilots.  They left behind little brothers, and modeling friends, and there was still a taste of awe regarding airplanes.  Kellogg’s, the cereal manufacturer, marketed their PEP cereal (like Wheaties) to these youngsters enthralled with WWII and airplanes.They included sheet silhouette models in boxes of PEP cereal.  The collection grew to 20 different US and Allied aircraft.
