In the trench art collecting field, WW1 airplanes are a prize.
They are very hard to find and usually command a high price.
This WW1 plane is made from a bullet in the center with sheet brass wings and tail.
Small wires have been added for the wing supports found on early planes.

Thanks for looking and commenting petey.
