Air Service Command Craig Field large overalls patch. Never seen another. Selma, Alabama.    Originally built by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1940 to accommodate the growing number of flight trainees before World War II, Craig Field was one of the first training fields to offer single-engine training. Its first graduating class of 1941, the 39 cadets of Class 41D, completed the training course seven months before the United States' entry into World War II.[1] The naming of the base was important to the nearby city of Selma, and several names were considered. The name finally chosen was to honor 1st Lt Bruce Kilpatrick Craig, who was killed when his B-24 Liberator bomber crashed in June 1941. Craig was born in Selma and was initially commissioned as an officer in the Infantry Reserve prior to transferring to the U.S. Army Air Forces and attending flight training. [1] Army Air Forces pilot training through the first eleven months of 1941 was still considered as being peacetime and included a seventy-hour flying course. With the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, training was accelerated to speed the flow of pilots into combat. In total Craig Field graduated more than 9,000 pilots before the end of the war. Craig Field also saw a number of British Royal Air Force trainees. By 1943, 1,392 RAF cadets had earned their wings at Craig Field. Following the war, the mission of Craig Field changed from time to time, but it remained primarily a flight training base.[1] When the U.S. Air Force was established as a separate service in 1947, Craig Field was renamed Craig Air Force Base.

Hello,  looking for some guidance on these Parachute patches.   Are these the typical $50 patches or are any more desirable?   Any info is appreciated.   Thanks.   Sammy T

Hello,  looking for information on this style Glider patch.   I've never seen one like this.   Interested in hearing information about it.   Thanks.   Sammy T

Forget to add. Both knives were private purchase. 

That 14th Infantry is a really nice private purchase officer’s collar pin from the early 1900’s.  By far, the best of the lot. 

Thanks, Jerry K already invited me, but I’m strictly in no social media besides the USMF. Thanks for the invite though, I appreciate it 👍
