TomPearson Posted January 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2011 Great Grouping I bought from this Marine Night Fighter vet the other day see pictures He was in VMF 513 the Flying Nightmares, He started training in 43 but his combat time was in Korea about 50 combat missions. I have both flight log books I have other things also his uniform Hat Wings so on but I think a very rear group with flight jacket. He did most of these missions flying F7F Tigercats. I have not posted anything in a long time so I thought this would be cool to show! Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddmod Posted January 6, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 6, 2011 That is a great looking group, well done. Good that you have the 1st hand history too. That is what makes it important. JC BTW, your mannequin could use some skivvies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly USMC Posted January 6, 2011 Share #7 Posted January 6, 2011 Very Nice. Does the Vet have anything Else He is holding on to? Sounds like you have a very Complete grouping. Congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPearson Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted January 6, 2011 I have everthing he had but he did keep one set of wings and some pictures the only thing I do need is his discharge papers I have more pics but they are two large for the forum, no other patches it would be cool if he did I think it is a rear patch. Mabe later I will try to down size them. The flight jacket is minty. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
