After the purchasing of the Embury company by Dietz in 1953 the No. 8 Air Pilot replaced the Embury No.2 and No. 1 as the main model for the air pilot models. Production of this model for a time was centered in Mexico and can be identified by Aztec stamps. This model is estimated to be produced in the US as there is no such Aztec stamp.
