FlyNavy02 Posted May 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2020 A well worn hand painted leather jacket patch for the 1346th Army Air Force Base Unit. The 1346th was stationed at Kurmitola Airfield, India and flew supplies over the Hump into southeast China. It is attributed to Captain Earl A. Martin, a pilot who died in the crash of his C-54D (42-72604) at Luliang, China on 24 June 1945. His body was not recovered and he is memorialized at the National Cemetery of the Pacific.
