The cross insignia used by the Luftstreitkraefte of Imperial Germany in World War I is prominently featured on this cut-away segment of German aircraft fabric. The fabric also displays the iconic lozenge camouflage pattern. The fabric is noted as coming off one of the finest fighter aircraft of World War II, the Fokker D.VII. The D.VII first appeared over the Western Front in April 1918 and quickly became a feared and respected opponent by the Allies. Although the fighter had a short service life, D.VII pilots are credited with shooting down 565 enemy aircraft. Several German aces, including future Chief of the Luftwaffe Herman Goring, flew the D.VII. The fabric is in a 35 1/2 x 33 3/4 inch double sided frame.

Fine with a tear at the bottom and retaining most of the cross insignia. An iconic war trophy from the Great War that is a must have for any early military aviation collection.
