A profile of Harry Everett Smith and his paper glider collection: http://www.newyorker.com/project/portfolio/the-paper-airplane-collector
Given that most of his collection appears to have been obtained in NYC, I wonder if any member of Friends of the Origami Center of America/OUSA might not be responsible for any number of gliders that made its way into Smith's collection? One of my favorite past times is to toss a paper airplane from a tall building. I've long dreamt of a sanctioned event of a launching of a thousand paper airplanes off the Empire State Building. Here's a video of one of my longest flights: http://havepaperwilltravel.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-i-spend-my-early-mornings.html This was on Pico and Avenue of the Stars in Century City/Los Angeles at Century Towers across from Fox Studios.
