otter42 Posted December 23, 2023 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2023 Very nice! Why would there be an air corp patch on it? Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knifeguy Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted December 23, 2023 Not sure. Maybe she was somehow attached to his unit . This came from b17 pilot Clifford e magnuson. Pilot of the sad sack. shot down over northeastern Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knifeguy Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted December 23, 2023 Yes was part of grouping. Alot of neat history to read up on magnuson and the b17 'sad sack'. I have been culling through the grouping dispositioning certain items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
