WW1 German Air Force Aircraft Fabric Section! Recovered during restoration, this was removed from the Fokker D-VIII "U.10" aircraft that is on display at the National Air and Space Museum! This specific aircraft was captured in 1918 when it accidentally landed at a small American airstrip near Verdun, France.

The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Germany produced around 3,300 D.VII aircraft in the second half of 1918. In service with the Luftstreitkräfte, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The Armistice ending the war specifically required, as the fourth clause of the "Clauses Relating to the Western Front", that Germany was required to surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies. Surviving aircraft saw much service with many countries in the years after World War I.

In the early 1980s the National Air and Space Museum produced its "Aviation Relic Series", which included limited edition prints, featuring 2" square pieces of fabric from various historical aircraft in their collection. These were from aircraft that were going through restoration at the time to replace deteriorating original fabric. Most of the larger pieces were kept at the museum, however smaller sections were made available to the public.

Made of lightweight fabric, this small cut-out is is AMAZING condition for its age! Removed from a Fokker D-VII "U.10" that is on display at the Smithsonian, it is mounted to a heavy card display. Display features a photo of the actual aircraft it was removed from, as well as a brief history. The square fabric section is approx. 2" x 2" in size, and the entire display is around 16” x 21”. Comes completely framed! Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection.
