Truly sad to hear this news today. I never met Eric, but he was always very helpful and pleasant to speak with. 

Thanks for the info especially Dustin's confirmation. I did try to search for info about it before posting but didn't come across it. It confirms what I thought as well. Cheers

I grew up in the Attleboro/North Attleboro MA area.  The pilot was from North Attleboro and in fact went to High School with my Mother-In-Law.  She always referred to him as Bobby Toner.  There is a street in North Attleboro named for him, "Robert F. Toner Blvd."  Known locally as just Toner Blvd.  Today 99.99% of folks traveling on Toner Blvd. have no idea of who he was, or why the street is named for him.  Just like the wreck of the Lady Be Good, forgotten by most.

These are called "Soaring Gliders" were worn by various units in the 101st Airborne Division. The tan was worn by the 426th Quartermaster. There is aa whole series of these cap patches.   Allan

50 for all three is right, they used to sell for A lot more. 20 bucks is the  average price nowadays. Patch prices have dropped a lot. 

Hi Sammy,   Very nice.   You're right except for the first on the left. It's not a type 1 but a type 14.   The 7 is one of my favorite in Mark Bando's classification.   Have a great day.   Dominique
