Mike Musura Posted January 18, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2010 Hello, This is my new acquisition. It's a B-3 Jacket made by H. L. B. Corp (NY). It's a very rare transitional B-3 in the very early 1942 pattern. The size is 44R. And we can see a platename with this name "J. L. Dyrud". I searched in Nara and I found this : http://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-detail....amp;rid=1355927 He was in the Air Corps (Aviation Cadet). Justin leroy Dyrud had an plane accident or crash in 1942. I searched also other informations. I found that Justin is alive in Oregon, he is 90 years old. I found 3 relatives people but I don't know how speak with them. If a member can help me, I know the name of the 3 relatives people and the phone and adress of Justin Leroy Dyrud Photos of this B-3 jacket ! And photos taken during the World War Two where we can see B-3 Jacket ! Thanks ! Best regards Pierre And sorry for my bad English ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky 7th Armored Posted January 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 18, 2010 Beautiful Jacket Pierre, your English isnt that bad! Do you want to speak with the veteran or his relatives? You might be able to look him up in his local phonebook if they have it online. Haydn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
