Doolittle, an MIT-trained engineer and gifted test pilot, pushed hard for high-octane 100\/130 avgas when most of the industry thought it wasn't worth the extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a soft, broken-in cotton twill cap with deliberate distressing built in from day one. Unstructured, low-profile construction with a curved visor, self-fabric hideaway strap, and metal D-ring for an adjustable fit. Each hat carries slight natural variation in distress and color, so no two wear in exactly the same way. Spot clean with warm water and dish soap; a soft-bristled brush handles the stubborn spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1938, Shell alone was producing more than 60% of America's entire 100-octane avgas supply, which became the standard fuel for the U.S. Air Force heading into World War II — a direct line from one stubborn test pilot's argument to the fuel that powered the war in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe perfect gift for aviation enthusiasts, classic car and plane collectors, petroliana collectors branching into aviation history, garage and man-cave decorators, and pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American roadside art alive, one product at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ One size","offer_id":45522813157462,"sku":"12000992351122279521","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dashing Red \/ One size","offer_id":45522813190230,"sku":"29159025480584495540","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nickel \/ One size","offer_id":45522813222998,"sku":"33594364604430809757","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stone \/ One size","offer_id":45522813255766,"sku":"23263656447142625490","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/9447\/4582\/files\/6402993340612098176_2048.jpg?v=1785944759","url":"https:\/\/thefadedlabel.com\/products\/shell-aviation-distressed-cap","provider":" The Faded Label Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
