DutchInfid3l Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted April 8, 2011 Another photo, on reverse is written "Wishing you a very merry xmas to a sweet dad. J.D. and Clay"What is interesting is that the AAC Airman isn't wearing any collar brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted April 8, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2011 Great pictures.....gotta love these old studio portraits, and these are some cool ones. Thanks for sharing them with us.... :thumbsup: As for the AAF brother picture....he may not be wearing brass for the same reason lots of WWII vets have medals out of place......because he didnt want to? :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted April 8, 2011 Share #7 Posted April 8, 2011 Those were pretty scary times, and I guess it would be nice to have a portrait done (for memories sake). I honestly wonder how so many of the guys could smile and look for comfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 6, 2011 Share #11 Posted May 6, 2011 A wonderful USAF transitional photo That picture ROCKS! I didn't even know that shoulder patch was being worn that late...If I saw that uniform I would put it in the category of "Too Strange to Not Be Real"!!!

DutchInfid3l Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks! Yeah, I enjoy these old photos. Definitely don't see too many transitionals, so that was nice to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also included with the photo are the DUIs he's wearing.Anybody know why he'd be wearing the officer prop and wings above the pocket? I've been told that the winged prop on the chest was worn to denote that the enlisted soldier was an aviation cadet.Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
