Lt. Col. Porter Group Missing Khaki Jacket

This jacket disappeared from eBay.

 

I have been working to keep this group together.

 

While the jacket isnt necessary it would be nice to reunite it to the group.

 

Here is a picture.

 

This is the first time that I can remember that Ive ever undertaken such a quest.

 

I normally find groups complete so tracking things down is new.

 

Many of Porters items are in the hands of one seller on eBay.

 

Their prices are gliding smoothly above the stratosphere.

 

So his items arent selling.

 

When I went to buy the jacket a notice came up that the seller had ended the auction.

 

After about 15 emails from this seller about the jacket I finally was told its on its way to Florida.

His flight suite when he served as an Army observer with the Mosquitos on his first tour in Korea.

 

I was lucky to get this reasonable.

The flight suite was listed with a poor description and went under the radar for a few days until I made an offer.

Wow great group of insignia, also love the helmet liner. Any chance he served under the 25th ID ? The patch missing is definitely either that or the 442nd
