That's great information.

US Army / "B" Company 15th Transportation Corps Battalion (Aircraft Maintenance & Supply) 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). RVN. Japanese-made "Penguin".

In the grouping a pair of eyeglasses that were mailed to him had an APO so I'll look that up once I get back home. The officer course he graduated from at Harvard was primarily focusing on electronics and radar technology so that checks out. Hopefully more Morning Reports will be released soon. What sources do you use for research? I usually stick to  the classic trio of Newspapers, Morning Reports, and Ancestry. Sometimes Findagrave has information on them but others its just getting lucky with a unit website or something.   Hayden

I have the same maker and 1968 but its a size extra small, some what tight on me.. may sell it on, bought off ebay a while back, it's pretty mint cond.

So I got this nice set of EGAs. They are about 15/8" (length of anchor). I am just curious, everywhere I seem to look it shows that these are cap devices. However as they are in a set, would indicate Collar. Everywhere I seem to look the collar EGAs were smaller. I am missing something. Please advise.

Hey all,   I bought this jacket in questionable state for not too much money. Now that I have it in hand I'm having a few doubts about whether it is made for a US servicemember or a civilian. Especially the shape and the use of brown plastic buttons on the shoulder straps are throwing me off for some reason.   What are your thoughts on this?   Thanks in advance,   Bruno

welcome to the forum, love the name 😉

Howdy! Born/raised Texan, stuck now in Virginia.  Prior Army combat tanker (M60A3, M1A1, ’86-’94) Quite a few old MN 91/30s, Dragoons, M44 Carbines, SKS, Yugo M54 8mm, some moderns, some hand guns, and a few newly acquired oldies that I’m slowly learning are not what they were said to be.  

You're welcome Hayden.  Glad to help.  I'm sure you know NARA hasn't finished scanning in and posting Morning Reports online for 1945 yet, so there will be more reports of Egedius in the future.  Egedius's MOS in the Morning Reports was 0140 which was a "Radar Officer".  I believe Radar Officer's like Egedius were non-flying officers which is why you won't find an Air Medal or DFC on him in NARA's records.  I noticed on one of the Morning Reports "APO 883" which is Karachi, India where he went first after going overseas.  Then on 23 Dec 1944 he went to Dinjan, India, APO 487.  

This might help?
