An original piece of the fabric of The Spirit of Saint Louis, measuring approximately 1/8' x 1/16' and attractively shadow-box double matted with a portrait of Lindbergh standing before the plane, a photo of the plane in flight and an explanatory plaque to an overall size of 20 x 16. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Ev Cassagneres, author of The Untold Story - The Spirit of Saint Louis. In his letter he explains the fabric was obtained from Mr. Fred Deal in Portsmouth, England. Mr. Deal's father was with the RAF and stationed at Grange Field, Gosport, England in 1927. He goes on to explain that in removing the large piece of one wing, there was a fabric area where the wing joins the fuselage which had to be removed before the bolts holding the wing could be removed. Several small pieces were cut from that fabric, and given to the RAF crew as souvenirs. Also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Broadway Rick's Strike Zone and. RRAuction COA.
