vintageproductions Posted January 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 4, 2017 Steve are your sure they are exact? I thought the Thunderbird field insignia is just a circle below the bird, Scotty's look like a ships wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted January 4, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 4, 2017 I am looking bob through other threads. I know there is a nice metal version with the pyramid styple bars. My first thought was that those were engine pistons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atb Posted January 4, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 4, 2017 Chinese rank insignia. I am sure Chinese pilot training took place at that school. Some of that other insignia in the ocsfollowme image is Chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted January 4, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 4, 2017 ATB is most likely correct. I am 95% certain that this rank was used at the Thunderbird. I am not sure if US or Chinese wore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted January 4, 2017 Share #9 Posted January 4, 2017 I could not find my old post on the forum but thanks to Ron Burkey. Chinese Air Cadet ranks. Good chance it was worn at Thunderbird. http://www.flyingtigerantiques.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=fta&Product_Code=omch20010cr-CON&Category_Code= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted January 5, 2017 Share #10 Posted January 5, 2017 Photo merge. I think these are the same but that Scotty's is for a Lieutenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamundo Posted January 9, 2017 Share #14 Posted January 9, 2017 Here is another version on khaki twill. I acquired it together with the larger insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted February 1, 2017 Share #15 Posted February 1, 2017 I picked up several pillow cases and a burlap sack filled with patches from an Army vet that served in China. These were on it. Rank is for Major General and the cap device (upside down) is for chinese pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
