Description
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 silver paint remains! Original WW2 aircraft fabric is EXTREMELY rare as it usually burned up or rotted away over time. Measuring approx. 9″ x 14″ 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!
