This cut-away segment of German aircraft fabric prominently features the cross insignia used by the Luftstreitkraefte of Imperial Germany in World War I on a lozenge camouflage background. In the lower right corner is "Fok.," the designation for famed aircraft manufacturer Fokker. The fabric is noted as coming off a Fokker D.VII, a German World War I fighter aircraft often cited as one of the finest fighters of the war. 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 43 3/4 x 31 3/4 inch double sided frame.

Very good with a few small tears and much of the cross insignia remaining. A classic piece of World War I aviation memorabilia.
