Belleauwood Posted July 12, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2008 All the following photographs are identified to the airman. The Navy Balloon Pilot was an enlisted sailor. All are part of larger uniform groups. Fun Stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cooper Posted July 12, 2008 Share #11 Posted July 12, 2008 BELLEAUWOOD I am on BULLION OVERLOAD!!! Knowing your recent posts what is the back story on each? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belleauwood Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted July 12, 2008 John, The short answer is that there is really too much to tell. All are from groupings in my collection. Some are larger in content than others and none of these have ever seen the dealer market. Several are accompanied by letters from the family. I'll post a more complete story on my Balloon pilot soon. He had 2 flaming balloon jumps and was recommended for the DSC twice. He was the commanding officer, as Captain, of the 5th Balloon Co. He is named in several Aviation publications such as Wings of Honor & The Balloon Companies of the AEF. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted July 13, 2008 Share #13 Posted July 13, 2008 DJ that sounds like a plan - should be a great thread. As for the wings here I think is provides a very good idea of the quailty and variations of bullion wing from the period. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted July 13, 2008 Share #14 Posted July 13, 2008 I keep discovering more of these amazing posts of yours today. Your collection reminds me of a couple of buddies I have in the Northeast in quantity and quality. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
