Type 6 wing - Its appearance makes it one of the easiest to identify being entirely different than all other Canadian war time airborne wings. The shallow parachute canopy is plain with no definition. It has 7 thicker stitched shroud lines which blend in the outer edge of the shallow canopy evenly spaced down to the dull lemon yellow Maple Leaf. The Maple Leaf itself extends below the bottom of the actual wing. The Maple Leaf is a fuller version with the stem pointing straight down.

The well defined wings themselves appear to be horizontal with only the wing tips flaring up slightly. The parachute canopy and wings are matching white colour throughout. The base or background material is very similar to hunter green in colour. The reverse side of the wing has been observed with two different finishing methods. 1) Sizing or commonly known as ‘starch back’ application and the second lesser seen version is a fine weave khaki material.
