    FOR SALE ☞ Willowrun Airport Michigan Vintage Felt Pennant

    DESCRIPTION ☞ The Willowrun airport was opened in 1942 and was a major source of Allied Aircraft manufacturing, mainly the B-24 Liberator during World War 2. In 1945 at the conclusion of the war, the airport was converted into a cargo facility due to its close proximity to the Detroit Metropolitan Airport and still operates today with a museum in one of the old Aircraft hangers. We estimate that this pennant was made sometime in the the 1940's to early 1950's. The Aircraft featured on the felt pennant is a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser flying through the clouds with a hint of pink coloring below the fuselage from the sun. This Aircraft was modeled after the Boeing B-29 Superfortress and began service in 1947 with such Airlines as Pan AM and retired in the late 1950's, early 1960's.

    DIMENSIONS ☞ Approximate length is 2ft and width at the widest end is around 9 inches.

    CONDITION ☞ This vintage felt pennant is in excellent condition. It shows very little to no signs of wear or use. The R in Willowrun seems to have a very small amount of blue on it, but we have not tried to remove it. The fabric itself has no rips, tears, holes, water damage or signs of repair. Please see photos. Color may differ slightly in real life from how it appears on your screen due to varying monitor settings. Have a question about this item or want to see more photos?
