scottyv Posted 23 January , 2008 Share Posted 23 January , 2008 I recently acquired a small section of aircraft fabric that was taken as a souvenir by an American LT in April of 1919. In a letter describing the souvenir he says it was from "an English airoplane which the Boche had downed and dragged behind a machine gun factory here in Longinfon". I would assume that the actual city is Lingen, but I may be wrong. The fabric, which he says is from the wing, has the following in black ink on it near a silver rivet (just after the bottom "A.": W/T W.A. 7158. A.M.A. Can anyone provide any information on the type of aircraft based on this information? The fabric is an even tanish color with the writing in a very dark brown or black. Any information at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
