Hobza Posted September 21, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2014 Hi all.,I´d like to show you two medals:Air medal - engraved : Capt. William M. Martin AC DFC - engraved : Presented to Capt. William Martin for heroism in aerial flights by Lieutenant General George Kenney Dec. 28 1943Kenney was the commander of the Allied Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area , a position he held from August 1942 until 1945. So I guess it will be DFC from Pacific theater.Unfortunately I can´t find any information about capt. Martin. Google is not very helpful and I can´t find anything.Please could anybody help me to find any information about capt. William? Did he flew in bomber or figher pilot ? I will be very gratefull for any help with this topic. Thank you very much again.Best regards Lubos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0811gysgt Posted September 22, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 22, 2014 The seller on Ebay claims that someone offered him $1000 for these medals. I think that is a bit steep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KASTAUFFER Posted September 22, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 22, 2014 I suppose the seller can claim anything if they are trolling for prices! Seems a bit steep to me too. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0811gysgt Posted September 22, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 22, 2014 Now he is down to $700, but I still don't think that is worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchepurko Posted September 22, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2014 Way to high, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaDave Posted September 22, 2014 Share #8 Posted September 22, 2014 Well, at least this time he put the DFC and AM together, but I think the other items may still be under separate auctions. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-USAF-ENGRAVED-AIR-MEDAL-DFC-GROUP-WITH-HISTORICAL-INSIGNIA-GENERAL-RARE-/331326944433?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d249ff4b1#ht_690wt_1362 DakotaDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
