rustywings Posted November 24, 2010 #1 Posted November 24, 2010 I thought some of you might be interested in this little collection of early Consolidated Aircraft and Vultee items I've put together over the years. My attraction to the B-24 and B-36 led me down this path of collecting. Feel free to add any WWII era Consolidated Vultee patches, wings, or pins which you might have. I'd love to see what else is out there. Russ

Sabrejet Posted November 24, 2010 #23 Posted November 24, 2010 This is a stunning thematic grouping....congratulations on assembling it! I never realised there was such a range of related items. I have just a single Consolidated patch, much like one of yours. I'll dig it out and post it later this evening. Sabrejet :thumbsup:
