lax_master22 Posted March 31, 2015 Share #331 Posted March 31, 2015 Not a particularly rare or exciting uniform as it is unnamed, however I couldn't help myself from bringing this home with me last weekend. For some reason I just had a great affinity for it. Has Lieutenant Colonel ranks and is dated august 1955 on the inside pocket. It's now on display in my study as my new favourite uniform.

BigDogMilitaria Posted March 31, 2015 Share #332 Posted March 31, 2015 I picked this one up not too long ago, but it has to be the rarest uniform in my collection. Double patched USMC uniform, ID'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doinworkinvans Posted April 8, 2015 Share #333 Posted April 8, 2015 Here is my favorite - and my most recent. A 3-kill fighter pilot, who by records, scored the last aerial kill for WW2.He went to the 44th FS in 42 and came back to train before heading back over in late 44-45 to the 333rd. Here is a link to the thread: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234916-7th13th-aaf-44th-and-333rd-fighter-squadron-pilot-uniform-group/ My only fighter pilot group and its a lovely one!
