Nice one, despite the damage.
I notice it's a slight variation from A8.
And a bit suprised the missing plane didn't have a pin soldered on either edge of it's reverse. I guess one long pin had the plane tacked to it somehow and maybe at 20,000 feet, when the cord was pulled the G-force popped the plane off the pin.
Either way, thanks for sharing such a rare item.
