Founded in Philadelphia in 1940 as the P-V Engineering Forum, the company became known for tandem-rotor designs such as the HRP-1 flying banana and H-21 Workhorse. Its corporate lineage continued through Vertol and Boeing Vertol, tying early helicopter development to postwar transport flight. A meaningful display piece for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, it honors the people and ideas behind an influential American aircraft company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1940 in Philadelphia as the P-V Engineering Forum, the company was established by Frank Piasecki, Harold Venzie, and four other partners. Its early work included the PV-1 and PV-2; Piasecki designed and flew the PV-2 on April 11, 1943. After a Navy contract in 1944, the firm developed the PV-3, an influential tandem-rotor design. Reorganized as Piasecki Helicopter Corporation in 1946, it began production of the HRP-1 in 1947, known as the flying banana for its raised aft fuselage. Its helicopters included the HRP-2, H-21 Workhorse, and HUP-1. The company also developed the large H-16 transport prototype, which crashed fatally in January 1956. That year, the board renamed the company Vertol and forced Frank Piasecki out; he went on to establish Piasecki Aircraft Corporation. Vertol developed the Model 107, first flown in 1958, and the larger V-114. Boeing acquired Vertol on March 30, 1960, renaming it Boeing Vertol. In 1987, it became the Boeing Helicopter Division.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% white ceramic construction — strong and durable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-sided print with matte finish option\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Golden hanging string included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-decorated for lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in white or gold gift packaging (single ornament per pack)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust or dirt build-up.
