WWII US dexterity puzzle - Flight Formation
c. 1940Overview
Handheld dexterity puzzle with grey metal sides, glass top and a colourful cardboard background featuring three aeroplane hangars and three cardboard planes in red, white and blue.
The aim of the game is to juggle the planes into the correctly labelled cardboard recesses.
The reverse of the game is bright red card.
As with most of these vintage dexterity puzzles, they have become harder to complete due to the warping of the cardboard base.
One of a series of handheld dexterity puzzles in the collection produced in the United States during WWII.
