Todays mail call is this set of bomber wings.  My first set of bombers, I think they are a bit unusual from others that I have seen in pictures.   They measure 3 1/8 " wide, and weigh 16.78 grams without the clutches.  What I think is unusual the that the bomb device is separate and made of copper.  All of the ones Ive seen in pictures have a silver bomb device.  Also, there seems to be a worn/ground down spot on the wing just to the right of the bomb, as seen in the pic.     Any and all comments and observations welcome!   John    

Sure!  Yours may add to the knowledge base.  The information red seems to be about the packaging material and method.  As you probably have read in the linked thread, there is a debate whether AN represents a location or an organization.

Joanne,   If you could provide a bit more detail about your father's service, (unit, etc) we can point you in the right direction as far a specific unit. There are many unit histories that had been written so there is a good chance with a little more information about his service we can assist you.   Best regards   Leigh 

No worries! Your comments and contributions are always welcome here.

A great group, thanks for sharing!

You could follow the routes of his units in readily available WW2 histories published by the US Army, also known as the "Green Books." They can be found for downloading on the US Army Center of Military History website.

Am trying to find out what cities my father served. I understand he was in 3 battles (GO 33,40, WD 45). Separation papers say served in England, France and Belgium but not city. Can anyone help me?  

I attended one of these shows while visiting friends in Phoenix a couple of years ago. It was a great show. Don’t miss it if you are in the area. mikie
