Aircraft fabric - third sketch (see
first and
second sketch).
During the First World War, 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 a success.
