John Cooper Posted February 4, 2007 Share #18 Posted February 4, 2007 Very nice sets you have there - I must say I like those bullion wings! I am not sure what it is but the bullion just seems so nice... THANKS for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted February 4, 2007 Share #19 Posted February 4, 2007 Ok I got to looking at this and the ribbons where way off. Had it dry cleaned and never payed attention to the ribbons when I got it back. I've got to cry foul on this one Flying Tiger. Those ribbons are undoubtedly added to the uniform and are pure fantasy. Let's see- WWII Bombardeer wing with an Army Achievement medal? AND a "2" instead of the proper olc? Plus the Army Service ribbon and an overseas service ribbon (couldn't have earned them until the 1980's) and the USAF Longevity ribbon which would have required the wearer to be in a USAF blue uniform with USAF bombardeer wings. Also, the Army Good Conduct with that many knots would have made him a senior NCO by the time he had earned that many, and thus would not have made him a candidate for going to school as a bombardeer. The randomness of the ribbons and the fact that they are brand new manufacture just screams that it is a fantasy. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
