WWII Messerschmitt Me 262 Relic Plaque - Full Color 8"x10"
May 1945 - Aluminum wing skins and sheets from an Me 262 production line were removed by a fleeing Czech worker when German production ceased at the end of the war. Using a cart and horse, the sheeting was taken to the worker's property and was used as roofing material. Aces In Action was able to acquire most of the roofing material in 2021 which had been used as wing skins on the latest production aircraft. Fortunately, the sheets had been installed with the stamping side down, thus saving the precious markings from the elements. Each relic included with the canvas print was removed from one of those sheets in 2021, which still clearly includes the original AWS (Aluminum Walzwerke Singen) Eagle 3116.5 manufacturer stamp.
