doyler Posted September 8, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2008 Look fine to me.You could also use a aircrew wing. RON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightenIrish35 Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted September 8, 2008 Do you mean that he could have worn two at the same time. Or instead of wearing the Gunner Wings he could have worn the wings you just mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightenIrish35 Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted September 8, 2008 is the one long pin on the back a rarer style or is the one with two attachable backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted September 8, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2008 The air crew wing is an alternative.They would not wear both. The long pin opposed to the ones with clutches is a variation both made in WW2.Some preferred the clutch back type as they lie flatter on the uniform.

JLENG Posted September 8, 2008 Share #9 Posted September 8, 2008 Keep your eyes open and wait a while and another will show up and possibly for less. This is a fairly common example. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cooper Posted September 11, 2008 Share #12 Posted September 11, 2008 Be sure to post back if you do wing - wings & the jacket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightenIrish35 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted September 11, 2008 I got it ! When they arrive Ill take some images of the wings and the jacket. The wings were not that cheap,I ended up getting them for 48 Dollars. But,hey,itll be worth it to get it for the completion of the uniform.

FightenIrish35 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share #16 Posted September 12, 2008 As I wait for them to arrive here is the link to the wings I won. Gunner wingssssss Im also contemplating on if I should add a Blue Combat box to the uniform as Im trying to restore this jacket back to the way it was as I know amost everything about the Gunner after research. What kind of blue cloth should i look for as Ive seen refrences of the Blue Combat Box but I just dont know if its worth it trying to find a Blue piece of cloth as the backround or just leave it as is? Im leaning towards Combat box because he was in 26 missions before his plane was hit by flak and became a POW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
