AAF_Collection Posted November 3, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2016 I have seen several WWII period pictures of Army/AAF officers wearing air gunner wings, but would be interested to hear of other examples. I recently acquired an officers coat which is named and dated October 1943 and which has an interesting combination of what I'm pretty certain is German made bullion insignia dating from the immediate post WWII occupation period. Unfortunately the name in the coat is J.E. Clark, making further research somewhat like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack!. The wing and shoulder patch, an unusual combination. Matt.

Hi Daniel, The seller was located in New Egypt, NJ but as he deals the coat could have originated elsewhere. Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
