1:350 Trumpeter 05631 USS Langley CV-1 Plastic Model kit

The 1:350 Trumpeter USS Langley CV-1 brings the very first aircraft carrier of the United States Navy to life with exceptional detail and historical depth. Originally built as the collier USS Jupiter, the ship was converted beginning in 1919 and officially recommissioned in March 1922 as the groundbreaking USS Langley CV-1. This transformation marked the dawn of a new era in naval aviation.

As the Navy’s pioneering aircraft carrier, USS Langley was essential in developing early tactics, training programs and operational procedures. Countless pilots honed their skills on her deck, shaping the future of carrier-based air power. In 1936, Langley was converted into seaplane tender AV-3. During World War II, on February 27th, 1942, she was sunk while transporting fighters to Java after being attacked by Japanese naval aircraft.
