LITERATURE/ARCHIVES:
-Frog Modelaircraft 1932-1976 - by Richard Lines & Leif Hellström - 1989 - New Cavendish Books - ISBN 0 904568 63 6
Any sort of article on the history of Frog has to start with this book and I relied heavily on it. Credit for all this research goes to the writers and contributors to their book. I have taken the liberty to make use of the same chronological listing of all the Penguin models, including boxtype names "A" and "B". Chapters 1-4 of the Penguin History has largely been based on pages 27-68 of "Frog Modelaircraft". Used with kind permission of Leif Hellström.
