Type 2 wing – The parachute canopy shows weak detail but does have 7 faint sections. There are 8 finely stitched shroud lines starting at the very outer edges of the canopy evenly spaced down to the maple leaf. The canopy skirt seems to be flat or straight across from side to side. The canopy is noticeably fuller or taller, appearing as a one half of a circle. The Maple Leaf does not extend beyond the lower edge of the wing and appears to be more of a dark yellow tone. There is a noticeable stem that extends down. The crude Maple Leaf itself has been described as more of a ‘pot leaf’ rather than a Maple Leaf.

The wings slope upwards with a mild curve towards the outer tips. When you start at the outer tips and work your way down to the Maple Leaf, you will notice it is a fairly smooth transition from one section to the next and not noticeable steps as seen with other wing types. There are 5 sections with low definition to the wings. The background material is noticeably dark green. Some have also been observed with a lighter green base. The reverse side of this wing has fine black cloth backing. (Unfortunately the picture I have posted is a padded version) The parachute canopy and shroud lines are the same white stitching while the actual wings appear to be a slightly ‘off white’ in colour.
