What DUI would the 443rd troop carrier group uniform have? The eagle with the soldier or the patch type?

 

It is a CBI unit with the CBI on left sleeve and 10th Air Force on right. He was in headquarters company

 

Thanks

I'm not sure they had a DUI. Massaro's Air Corps DI book doesn't list one. This isn't to say there wasn't one worn. I looked online as well. I can't find anything showing the 443 Troop Carrier Group having a DI. Many units didn't have a DI due to wartime restrictions. They certainly may have worn an unauthorised DI or locally authorised.

 

I don't know if the 1st Troop Carrier Command was worn in the CBI. This unit appears to be part of the 1st Troop Carrier Cmd. when it was formed. I don't have a good answer for this thought.

 

I'll leave this to others with more knowledge than me.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Ok, thanks.

 

It's just a rather boring looking uniform for what I believe is a neat unit.

 

I figured DUI's might spice it up for its Airborne heritage.

 

Thanks Paul
