Thanks, when I was sent the ground crew pic, I was told some sort of museum was set up there, any uniforms or neat pieces on display? -

Hello everyone, I recently received this medal with 5 bars and was wondering if it looks ok? I am thinking possibly ambulance corps? Thank you -

Thanks Taylor! Who manufactured yours? I'm interested in who else made them / what to look out for in future collecting. -

Hey all, I need some advice and expertise with what appears to be a beautiful WW2 CBI bomber jacket. I found this at an antique shop and I liked it BUT I was hesitant to buy it. My question is, is it real, or kind of a fantasy hybrid jacket? it appears to be WW2 era. There is no tags. There is a blood chit on the back, photo sewn inside, along with CBI patches. It’s also named to Albert R Powell on the front but can’t find anything about this man. And then it gets weirder… theres a paper inside for a resume to a WW2 signal corps vet (probably from 60s) who served in the CBI Burma theater, his name Arthur R James. The hells angels patch is almost to good to be true as well. And there’s some Chinese currency bills in another pocket. The China Pilot wings are fake. When I do an image search this exact jacket comes up on google (but when you click the link it’s a totally different website with no jacket anywhere). It may have been for sale at another store at some point.The CBI collar pin is authentic. Some of the other Insignia is post war. I’ve posted some pics of it, sorry they’re not great I only took video and then screenshots stills of it. so he’s asking 3k, but would come down to 2,500. For an authentic CBI bomber jacket, seems like a decent deal but theres just something about it that scares me. Maybe someone pieced it together over the years with real and fake items? Or maybe it’s totally a repro as I know some of these bomber style jackets are VERY WW2 period looking. Let me know!! Thanks -

Old question (we miss you Dave)... Was there an orange background AAF HQ patch after the 'pinwheel' design? I believe it's an original blue felt, not orange, circa 1941/1942. -
