Chinese embroidered on parachute silk. Presented to the pilots in December 1943. Came with some snapshots of the unit. All attributed to a 75th pilot.

The book "Into the Teeth of the Tiger" by Donald Lopez, talks about the pilots being presented with this exact scarf by the citizens of Hengyang after they hosted the squadron a dinner in late December 1943.
