Wooden Propellers

Wooden display propellers have rapidly become the most collectible item of aviation memorabilia. This site is committed to the exchange of information about wooden aircraft propellers in general, with emphasis on WWI and earlier antique propellers.
If you are trying to identify a vintage wooden propeller, start here or go to Modern Wooden Propellers. If you don't find the answer there, post your question on our Wooden Propeller Forum.
