Bluehawk Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share #76 Posted October 18, 2008 This will get you into a certain amount of warbird parts and memorabilia when trying to associate an insignia with an aircraft... mostly vintage WWII in nature - with the added perk of an actual fair market value price list for same.

Bluehawk Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share #84 Posted October 27, 2008 Dave's list of must-have books for the collector, copied from USMF thread. "Okay, so as promised. A few books that I have to have in my collection as a US militaria collector. (No particular order) Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the US Armed Forces 1941-1945 by RW Smith. (Note: If you buy no other book, buy this one) Call of Duty by Strandberg and Bender Army Unit Citation and Campaign Participation Credit Register WWII-Korea reprinted by ddaymilitaria.com Encyclopedia of US Army Insignia and Uniforms by Emerson World War II Order of Battle by Stanton Vietnam Order of Battle by Stanton Air Force Combat Units of WWII by the Office of Air Force History Register of Alumni by the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association Register of Graduates and Former Cadets, United States Military Academy And that's it. If I had to sell all of my other books, these are the ones I'd keep. Of course, this list will vary depending on collecting interest, but these are the titles that have worked for me.
