This auction is for one (1) WWII Air Recognition Panel AL-141 Yellow (International Orange) with Bag CS-150 in used condition. These Panels are made of a kind of “Oil Cloth”, and over the years some of the finish has started to flake off, this one is in pretty nice shape considering its age. The Bag CS-150 is showing its age and has some slight staining, but is in overall good condition. This style of Air Recognition Panel was specified as part of the on board stowage for most all Armored Vehicles, as well as many soft skinned vehicles if they were near the front lines. Once the US acquired air superiority in Europe after the Invasion, most all vehicles operating near the front lines used these panels. Many WWII Signal Corps photos show these panels, but because of the black and white photography they do not stand out unless you really look for them in the photo.The easiest way to spot them is to look for the darker edge binding on the panel. Usually they just look like a piece of canvas draped over things on the rear deck, but on closer inspection you can spot the edging and ID it as the panel.This style of panel with the CS-150 is usually the one specified in the vehicle manuals for “On Board Stowage“, although the panels that roll up into their attached cover were also used.There were two panels per set, AL-140 Red, and AL-141
