KASTAUFFER Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share #76 Posted March 1, 2019 This is a 2019 SOS purchase of mine It also came with a large photo album of Pensacola NAS from 1919 with lots of HS-1 shots. The Wings are early Robbins Naval Aviator wings with the "European" style hallmarks on one side and "sterling" on the other with a Tiffany style catch. If you compare these wings with the ones on the photo in his Naval Aviator ID book, they appear to be the same ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tafh63 Posted March 28, 2019 Share #83 Posted March 28, 2019 The certificate above is not WWII era. They do show though that these ID books were issued well after the war. I remember Dad telling me he showed it to gate sentries for a number of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyNavy02 Posted February 6, 2021 Share #97 Posted February 6, 2021 Virgil Stuart Deitrick, Jr. was born in Virginia in 1912. He was designated Naval Aviator 4947 on 19 October 1936 and commissioned on 1 November 1936. Prior to World War II, he served on the USS Lexington with VS-3B (1937) and VS-2 (1938). He died in 1951 but I have not yet found the cause of death. The collection includes a pinback H-H Imperial wing badge stamped "R.G.P." behind the shield and "1/40 10K R.G.P." behind the right wing.

KASTAUFFER Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share #98 Posted May 29, 2021 1938 dated ID book to an Aviator who was killed in an accident in 1942 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KASTAUFFER Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share #99 Posted May 29, 2021 1940 dated certificate to a Naval Academy graduate who served with VPB-105 during WWII hunting German subs. His ID book is covered with muddy sand . I have all of his material and am assuming he may have been in an accident at some point that caused it to get like this. None of his other material is in this kind of condition so I don’t think it was in a house during a flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
