In WWII, most aircraft battle damage was repaired with patches taken from scrapped planes, which is part of the reason you saw relatively clean looking planes even after seeing heavy combat. In fact, patching individual bullet holes became a bit of a romantic notion of the hero in the sky. It is in this tradition why I love BraapWrap’s aircraft and rivet themed wraps. In this video I show how year after year I am able to patch my wrap so that it looks, to me, better than new. http://braapwraps.com/
