Aircraft fabric - second sketch (see first and third sketch).
During World War I, Marcel Boussac secured the contract for aircraft fabric. In 1919, he bought all the surplus aircraft fabric at a low price and, with this indestructible material, he made blouses, soft-collar shirts, and invented pajamas. He then set up his own stores, "A la Toile d'avion," which would become successful.

Description:
A woman, wearing a dress adorned with many multicolored flounces, stretches an aircraft canvas above her head. She thus demonstrates the possible color variations and the strength of this fabric. In the background, a taking-off airplane is sketched.
