JGC Posted July 10, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2013 I picked up this fantastic 20th AAF Ike last weekend at a local auction. I thought I'd share it with the rest of the forum. Its named to Wilford H. Rickard who was attached to the 61st Service Group, 372nd Air Engineer Squadron at the time of his discharge in 1946.

ReverendJake Posted July 10, 2013 Share #12 Posted July 10, 2013 Wow! I've never seen air corps chevrons on such a late uniform. Great bullion on there as well. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jguy1986 Posted July 10, 2013 Share #13 Posted July 10, 2013 Wow! I've never seen air corps chevrons on such a late uniform. I was thinking the same thing, it's interesting. I always like seeing uniforms with the combat star on the victory ribbon, and that bullion is killer. Great find! -- Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
