josesharontraders Posted March 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2016 Hola Caballeros/Gentlemen, Good evening from Spain. About to leave for long travel work in the Middle East, but I couldn't help share these pictures with you to start a conversation, help me identify them more accurately, and relax in our hobby. I have been assembling some US Army Air Force pins as I open some boxes from last year. Here are 2 pics, one taken with flash and the other without. Comment On The Tinian Island & Panama Canal UAAF fly boys--The 6th Composite Bombardment Group. You'll note on the top row, I display in the following order--6th Bombardment Group pins Massaro 6C1, 6C2, 6C3, 2 pieces 6C4, 6C5, 6C6, and 6C8. Alas I do not have the Massaro 6C7, where the pirate Jean Lafitte from the War of Jenkin's Ear, is wearing all white enamel pirate's coat. That pin would be facing dexter. Will elaborate some more when I get back in 2 weeks. Here are the pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
