Lt. Col. Charles Thomas Phillips

Looking for the Purple Heart and Air Medal awarded to Lt. Col. Charles Thomas Phillips. Col. Phillips was an Army Air Corps officer and the plane he was piloting was reported missing in Dec 1942 in North Africa. His plane and remains of crew were located in Lake Tunis, Tunisia in 2000. Col. Thomas was buried at Arlington in 2003.

 

I own the UDC WWI Cross of Military Service presented to then Captain Phillips.

Hello All - I just acquired the upper complete ribbon section of a Navy Good Conduct - it has bars for 1937 and 1941 engraved to "Dennis Ledbetter". The man was born 22 May 1902. Joined the Navy 1 Aug 1923, severed until 16 Dec. 1946.

I will pay your price for his PH !

I´m searching for Purple Heart of:

 

2/Lt. U.S.A.A.F. William L. Kiggins -- ASN. O-1692808. (31. FG / 308 FS) KIA 11.10 1944 - Czechoslovakia

 

He was the only one American soldier who died in Czechoslovakia in my hometown during WWII and I have also some books with his story. He was shot down during attack at train near to spot where I live.

 

It would be a great honor to have his Purple Heart and I´m willing to pay "ANY" reasonable price for this medal. Or I could trade it for KIA - 517PIR Purple heart etc.

 

I´d like to ask you if you know anybody who could have this medal. If it is not still in Kiggins family

 

I know that it is a really foolish to hope that somewhere here on forum somebody would have this PH but could you give me recommendation who collects USAAF Purple Heart here?

 

Who could help me to find it?

 

Thank you very much for your replies.

 

Yours sincerely Lubos

Looking for the Purple Heart to LT Blake C. Howard (or Blake Clinton Howard). Rumor has it is either officially or unofficially engraved. It came from his estate in the St Louis area along with his Navy Commendation (located) and his Soviet medal (also unlocated).

 

I'd be happy to buy it for the chance to return it to his family (they aren't asking or looking for it, but I'm doing this because I think it's the right thing to do) but if the owner isn't interested in selling, I would at least like to photograph it for my upcoming book.

 

Thanks!

 

Dave

 

P.S. There are several other groups of medals floating around out there to officers and men who participated in the Murmansk Run and in anti-U-boat actions in the Atlantic as their families have been unable to locate them. Some of these men are recipients of Soviet medals, and I would like to find their groups for inclusion in the book. So if anyone has any floating around...let me know!
