Sweet Dave !!! I cant believe I passed this lot up !!!

[Thor996]

no worries. I have a dupe for you carl-

Picked up the attachment. It originally cost a dollar (price tag on bottom) and came with the V letter stationery, a bottle of ink, pen, and some lead for a mechanical pencil, I think. I kinda like it to accent a May, 1944 (just before D Day) field desk that I am putting together. Several photos to follow.

Hi Littlebuddy, a great thread and deserving to be pinned, I have a number of patriotic envelopes that were all addressed to the same guy throughout the war, none are duplicates so I wonder how he achieved that.

I'm not sure what the recon/photo squadron number is on this one: this came from a group of letters belonging to a fellow who was in Alaska with the 77th Bombardment Squadron 11th AF Photo Section-the Bugs Bunny has a navy hat on and is on a flying fish- leading me to believe its not AAF unit stationary. Anybody with information regarding this unit, please advise thanks
