Bebel Posted September 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2014 Here's a little grouping from Captain James T. Beck. After his pilot formation after ww2 and about 100 flying hours in jet at Luke AFB, he joined the 13th Bomb Squadron at K-8 Kunsan in 1952. After 50 missions, he come back to USA.The red party shirt and the cap were made in Japan from december, 1951 when the squadron CO had this idea to help with the unit morale and esprit de corps.It's bad that this one had been faded in wash machine.Franck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebel Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted September 27, 2014 I'm not really sure that's the patch originally sewn on the shirt. Any comment about will be welcome. Franck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
