Hi Ian and Rabe,

Thanks for confirming my concern regarding the C.445 identification made of this fabric - on display at Louisiana Museum of Military History, Ruston, Louisiana - so it is not my own artefact. Pointing out that the Caudron had plywood covering was a good thing.

Could it be so that the diagonal lines running over the fabric comes from the GI actually folding it when putting it in his backpack (or whatever he used) before returning back to the States, possibly storing it over the decades in a folded way?

So I would say that a Fw 44 would be a possibility - among several - one obvious could of course be that it is a "fabrication" unless the museum have confirmed its provenance.

Best regards
