I acquired this a few months ago to put on my wall - just now getting around to photographing it. I have not seen any others of this piece. Note the Lincoln Memorial cent at lower right for size comparison.

That medal has very nice imagery Dan!
I also like the company name: "General Bronze Corporation"
That is an interesting plaque. Lots of detail, covering both military and industry. Cheers, RickO
That is an outstanding plaque!
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Dan- very cool plaque!
Very cool.
Fantastic detail and condition.
As I am reading it, the company probably produced it itself to display to honor its employees. Probably unique.
I note that it mentions Army and Navy. During WWII the aircraft were part of the Army Air Corps.
A great looking plaque.

Kennedys are my quest...
I like it.
Rene Chambellan was an architectural sculptor who also did a limited amount of medallic work.
This thread discusses a design of his for the Heath Literary Award:
