I would like to thank Aznation for all the investigative work he made but now that I have the cap with me I am wondering if the "C" before "1267" is not a "T"... 😬 Information I got from the seller : it was a pilot's cap who flew B-17s in Europe and then late in the war was assigned to the Pacific where he flew the B-29 Super Fortress... If the story the seller told you is true. All the information provided stating that Both officers with the letter C and 1267 became POW's. Then they would not have been transferred to the Pacific to fly B-29's. So maybe it is a "T" Semper Fi Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong work Mr. Matt! Dave Thank you Dave. I appreciate it. Whether it had belonged to any three of those men it would've been great. At least it's been pared down to one.
