leather nametag.. which flight jacket is it from?

[BROBS]

I was thinking it was from the summer jacket..?

Though I am not sure. Am I correct that it is WW2 period?

 

Any input is appreciated.

 

thanks,

Appears to be a wartime piece. When it comes to the jacket, this was a universal name patch for the flight jackets and flight suits.

Thanks for the info..

I guess looking at photos it seemed there were certain lettering styles on certain jackets, but probably just coincidence.

This is a universal name plate and would be worn on all types of Navy flight jackets and flight suits, whether they were winter or summer. Pretty much the same as a AAF leather name strip which was put on just about anything flight gear related.

I would says its probably from the 1950's based on the font used for the name. It doesn't look like a WWII tag to me.

My Guess would be post WWII

The font to me looks like these tags in the WW2 jackets sticky...

would these jackets be considered post war?

(mainly the lower one.. looks at the "S" on the lower tag.)

 

thanks,

I have owned both of those jackets. PK Will's tag has a different font and is WWII. Pressler's tag is post WWII I believe based on the rank on the tag. He didnt make LT until after WWII. He was a LT (JG ) when the war ended.

Ok thanks for the clarification... and I realize PK Will's tag was a little different, but posted as it was similar in font.

So perhaps early postwar at best... maybe latewar if I'm lucky.

 

Thanks for the help,
