Texengland Posted August 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2017 Don't post over here much as I don't do a lot of US but I thought I'd share this grouping I posted on WAF. This is a grouping I recently acquired belonging to an Archie Lee Jones from Haskell TX. He served with the 12th AF in North Africa and Italy. I'm not sure why he had bombardier wings except for maybe he was also trained as a toggle man too. I just wanted to put this here so others could see it as well!!! Two wallets and the money that was in them if anybody wants pics of specific notes just let me know. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/0261441e32a6660ccb82efd7e642be63.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/ae26a964dd3fe0b58eb5995bf498df08.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/956f53a44dcb90507883bd948f803839.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/1747294904a6ea5bc4a5f0c3aef6c2ea.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/d7cacf3af8c2863154d0bff817448cf7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/5d21501568e1587e8bd6690ff7f85c4e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/733a9251189e10f89a94f2f6c1bb5369.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/d9dafa747e765ea9776bdad39e5e4e15.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/04b264f025969ea04e8414ab4c3afcfc.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/7cb2c4e2b6ce0c13253512d43f3a794e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170826/df0344d05e276e219fc0b8b4f6203af3.jpg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bullion and the metal wing are both for an aerial gunner and not a bombardier. Great grouping! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted August 28, 2017 Share #8 Posted August 28, 2017 Very nice group! I really dig the uncut unfinished squadron patch. Pretty cool pieces. Same squadron as as the famous Flak Bait! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texengland Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted August 30, 2017 great group, shell looks like a double feed maybeThanks guys, I wish I knew why held onto it all this year's. It had to be something special to him. I'm hoping that the lady I got this from finds some more of his stuff as she unpacks.

flyboy53 Posted September 3, 2017 Share #12 Posted September 3, 2017 Those are aerial gunner wings, not bombardier. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
