WW2 US Army Air Force – FLAP CONTROL COCKPIT PLACARD DATA PLATE – STINSON – NICE

You are bidding on a VERY NICE original WW2-era American Stinson Aircraft Flap Control Placard! This type of placard was used to identify the flap control mechanism within the aircraft cockpit.

Stinson Aircraft Corporation manufactured a variety of civilian and military aircraft throughout the 1930s and 1940s, including the SR-series Reliant and the military L-5 Sentinel. Cockpit placards were essential components of aircraft instrumentation and control systems, providing pilots with clearly marked operating instructions. This particular type identified the flap-control mechanism and indicated the direction required to raise or lower the wing flaps. The exact Stinson aircraft model associated with this placard has not been positively established.n.

Made of aluminum, this Data Plate is in EXCELLENT used condition! Some slight marks and  wear due to use and age, but nothing that detracts. The original wording, the markings, “FLAP CONTROL,” “FLAPS UP,” and “FLAPS DOWN” remain clearly legible, and the central opening and mounting holes are intact. This came to me with a large quantity of WW2 Trainer, Liaison, and Reconnaissance aircraft parts. An ORIGINAL and increasingly difficult-to-find piece of Stinson aircraft equipment that would make a FANTASTIC addition to any vintage Stinson restoration, aircraft interior display, or advanced American aviation collection!
