Nothing from the holder or another institution, and no press report, has been found yet; the record rests on an inventory listing and a general reference. It is published so the piece can be found and checked — the holder's own account, a press report or a recent photograph would strengthen it. How records are graded

The record

A piece inside an aviation museum best known for holding the Spruce Goose.

A piece inside the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, whose main hall holds Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose. Like the Cosmosphere in Kansas and the Technik Museum Speyer, it is a collection about flight that keeps a piece of a land border — and in this case the aviation connection is real rather than incidental, because the first American response to the closing of Berlin was an airlift.
