- We are offering a rare group of Aviation History / Model Plane Building archive

- 1929 Los Angeles Times- National Aviation School Model Airplane Building Diploma dated "this 29 day Jan 1929"
- Also included is a "wing pin" inscribed 'Los Angeles Times Aviation School For Boys 1928-1929'
- Includes two vintage photographs featuring the boy (Kipp Cooper)who received the diploma for his model airplane - he is featured with a silent film star he worked as a child in a few silent westerns and is listed in IMDB as being involved in movie work
- The diploma measures 10" x 8.5" / Pin 3" x 1" / Kipp n Plane Photo 9.5" x 8.5" / Kipp n Star Photo 10" x 8"
- We purchased from the estate of his nephew who passed away in 2017 in Los Angeles and received the set from his mother after she got them when her brother (Kipp) passed away in 1940 from skin cancer
- Great archive for the Model Airplane collector - rare and imagine there are few examples left in existence
- The diploma is in Very Good shape but does have a two inch paper split on the lower portion but should frame with no issues
- The photo featuring Kipp alone has a black pen mark across his face ( see attached photos)
