Soldat222 Posted November 5, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2015 I just got this helping to clean my grandmother's cousin's house out. From what I gather this was her long passed husbands uniform. Looks like some of the patches may be theater made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doinworkinvans Posted November 5, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 5, 2015 Looks to be like a nice set. Certainly has that China Burma India look to it! Appears to be a nice bush jacket with theater made wings. Can't tell if they are Aircrew or Navigator. ... Is there are patch on the other shoulder of the bush jacket? Very very nice!

Could maybe see what crew he was on I believe his name was Albert Porreca and these uniforms have been sitting in a box for god knows how long. He would have been from the Philadelphia area.
