Kadet Posted October 24, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2015 I'm in the process of buying a group to a 501st Bomb Squadron "Air Apache" pilot from the family, and these are both in it. I'm not normally an insignia geek ...but I thought these were interesting. I've never seen a piece marked like the USAAF prop & wings..."Jack Benny"...was this a maker mark of some kind? I've also never seen and Angus and Coote officer cap badge (it is massive and heavy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted October 24, 2015 Share #5 Posted October 24, 2015 Yo You know maybe this was as strange as it seems, an engravement of Jack Benny's autograph? Jack Benny did a lot of USO stuff during the war, so maybe it has something to do with that? https://www.google.com/search?q=jack+benny+signature&biw=1366&bih=634&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CEEQsARqFQoTCMeHosiE2sgCFQlrPgodCRsHmw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL THE PATCH Posted October 24, 2015 Share #7 Posted October 24, 2015 They might be jack Benny's personell insignia, 70 years and stuff gets scattered. It looks like nice engraving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean a special presentation of a AC officer BOS badge to Benny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
