Norwegian Posted April 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2017 Hi. Think this is a good first post to the forum. Got this group of badges and pins some days ago. The grouping is 100% original with full provenance of an american /norwegian that served as tech rep in china during ww2. I will return with name and complete lifestory later. In the meanwhile i'll hope you enjoy the grouping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsfollowme Posted April 5, 2017 Share #18 Posted April 5, 2017 Allison made engines and I believe it was a division of General Motors. I have a patch with all of that in my home front thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right. I assume FED is Far East Detachment or Department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted April 5, 2017 Share #20 Posted April 5, 2017 I know the Allison engines were used in P-39s Cobras, P-38 lightnings, and P-40 Warhawks. They had issues with it in the P-41 Mustang and replaced them with Rolls Royce engines. So the Tech Rep most likely worked on the 38, 39 or 40...though most likely the Warhawk is that was widely used by the Flying Tigers. Your collection is seriously museum worthy as a whole.
