Gift ideas for an aviation enthusiast?

My grandfather loves flying and has done it for about 50 years. It is his biggest passion and he can't get enough of it, even after all these years. He loves everything from military aircraft to gliders. I would like to get him a Christmas gift that reflects his hobby and was hoping for some ideas. Unfortunately he is the kind of person that seems to have everything, so the more unique the better. I appreciate the input

Can you at least narrow it down to which manufacturer?

If he likes to read, "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller. About a military aviation supplier during the war that supplied faulty aviation parts that killed 21 pilots.
