Group of six flown fabric presentations created by the Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum with fabric removed during restoration of historically important aircraft. Each swatch measures about 2 x 2 and is affixed to its respective 15 x 20 informational poster. Pieces include: two brown swatches from Calbraith Perry Rodgers's Wright Brothers Vin Fiz; two brown swatches from the Curtiss NC-4 Flying Boat that made the first transatlantic flight in 1919; a dark brown swatch from Lt. Heinz von Beaulieu-Marconnay's Fokker D-VII 'U.10'; and a dark brown swatch from Oakley Kelly and John Macready's Fokker T-2. Rolled and in overall very good to fine condition, with a crack and fold to the Fokker D-VII and folding to one Vin Fiz swatch (which has come detached, but easily reaffixed). Accompanied by the original information packets issued by National Air and Space Museum.
