An original section of WW1 German "Lozenge" design Tarnstoff aircraft camouflage fabric. Roller printed dye on flax, a portion salvaged from the wing of a captured late war German aircraft (see hand written note on fabric - dated "1919") - likely to have been brought to England, examined, flown and tested to destruction as were many "enemy" aircraft, of the 4 colour 1918 pattern designed for the under surfaces. Slight fading of the colours, has length of "rib tape" which was of the "Upper" surface colour way and was cut into strips and doped over rib positions to protect stitched areas from weather ingress, unusually exhibiting steel grommet "drain holes" - which allowed moisture to drain from inside the airframe. On wings these were situated at trailing edge undersurfaces, presented in a glazed frame, 63 x 84 cm (1)
