New addition - V1 Rudder

Recently I was able to add a V1 rudder to relic collection. Still doing a little research on this particular piece and the cool thing is that it came from just across the Wisconsin border. There is a bit of the original paint and even a stencil which says "do not touch". One side of the rudder looks like it might have been laying on that side for some time as the paint has been eaten away. I also noticed that there is a weird crumpling of the thin skin around the spars and I hoping that is an indication that it might have flown to its destination and the damage was created by its actual flight. I hope to learn more about its possible origin when I identify the original owner. This will provide for a nice update to this post if he can be identified.
