This was the very first Whitewings set, effectively Vol 1, although it was not labeled in this way. The kit came in a white box with an "Authorized Edition" banner across the corner. This introductory set featured a balanced mix of 15 models, including a series of "Racers", several jets, replicas of real aircraft, and some creative experimental designs. The kit included a simple rubber band catapult which was used to launch the airplanes by attaching it to a small metal hook glued to the plane. The kit also came with a detailed instruction booklet and some lead weights which were used by eight of the models to balance them correctly.
