Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE and 100% original WW2 Soviet VVS Aircraft Green Fabric Camouflage Skin! Recovered by a German Aircraft Mechanic who served on the Eastern Front, this was cut from an aircraft on a captured airfield. Not sure of the exact aircraft it originates from, but most likely from an IL-2, Pe2, I-15, I-153, MiG3, Yak 1/3, LaGG 1/3 or similar aircraft!
This type of lacquered fabric covered the entire airframe of the aircraft, and all control surfaces. This was fairly universal on most aircraft control surfaces during WW2.
Made of lightweight fabric, this section is in AMAZING condition, and 95% of the ORIGINAL green camouflage paint remains! Original WW2 aircraft fabric is EXTREMELY rare as it usually burned up or rotted away over time. Measuring approx. 11″ x 18″ in size, there are some slight wear, tears, and marks, due to the age. Dating around 1941, this was removed from the aircraft in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa, when the Germans overran numerous Soviet Airfields. I have shown similar examples in the last images. A SUPERB piece of history, it would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
