A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Does anyone know when the, now ubiquitous, engraved plastic placard was first introduced? Or when they became common in aircraft?
For clarification, I mean the ones with two layers of contrasting plastic - think desk nameplates

If you look in the Detail & Scale book on the F6F (it was on the coffee table) there seems to be some of them in the old, wartime era cockpit shots. They don't look exactly right, but pretty close.
