Subject
Aircraft fabric - first draft (see second and third draft).
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:
The young woman's dog grabs her by the sleeve. She is very surprised, but the fabric holds!
