Re: 91st Aero squadron fabric
So, that's where it went! I was wondering what happened to that auction when it popped up on Ebay. I had my finger on the trigger, waiting for my shot at the title but the auction was pulled, apparently because the seller was made an offer they couldn't refuse. OK. So it was a wet dream. I didn't think I had the chance to win it. It still didn't keep me from dreaming a little dream...
I saw you found the Cook photo. I was thinking of exactly the same thing when I read your initial post.
I'm not a fabric expert so I'm looking forward to reading more knowledgeable responses to this neat piece of aviation history.

Re: 91st Aero squadron fabric
What a beautiful piece of Hoosier history!!!! Other than the whole aircraft, I am not sure if there is a better piece of aviation militaria that is related to the state of Indiana. Everett Cook was born in the Indianapolis area and is one of (IIRC) the four WWI aces that came from Indiana.
Incredible! Congratulate your friend on this find and please thank him for letting it be shared with us!
