I don't know if this is relevant to the discussion or not, but Hollywood stunt pilot Garland Lincoln had similar troubles with a rebuilt N.28. If I recall the story correctly, he'd rebuilt the wings using aluminum instead of wood -- and still had the fabric peel away from the leading edge of the upper wing on one occasion. This happened in the early '30s, I believe, post "Dawn Patrol."
