I can't get to his uniform right now. I re found his documents in a box that I packed up from my move. I think you have the same stuff that I have, but you have the other citations and General Orders. I knew the picker that original bought the group quite well. I told him then that he should split off the documents since there were almost two of everything. -

So I just got this helmet and I have my doubts. The liner has a date of 1968 on the headband w/ US 4 imprinted on the liner. What is everyone’s thoughts? -

I posted this item in the "Unknown, please ID" section a while back, The thought is that it seems to be some kind of, hand drawn, rough draft of a poster design, related to the number of Air-Sea rescues performed by the 5th USAAF in the Pacific during WWII? It appears to have been made using a mix of Pastels, charcoal, and pencil. The material is woven canvas. A signature is written in the bottom right corner. The outside perimeter of the canvas appears to be marked with what look like guidelines... Or some kind of reference marks. Maybe for printing? The canvas is also marked with numbers and multiple pinholes in the corners. Link to the OG thread here: -

. Just received these four photos, what a transformation with a days work. My friend has spent the day pressure washing the Slat-Grille ' Follow Me ' Jeep that arrived two days ago, what a transformation he has made in a day reverting it back to the original ' Follow Me ' paintwork. With a few more days work on the inside bodywork, the seats, the dash etc it will look like it did eighty years ago, there's no rust or rot throughout the body, all original panels and floors, his greatest problem is post-war it had the rear panel made into a drop tailgate, he will spend time and correct that, welding the cut panel back in place.

A friend of mine sent me a heads up about another CC Moseley wing that came on the market. Don't know the specifics, but there was a screen capture. Named to a J. E. Bowen, and dated 9/14/40. This is a flat back type with Hercules style findings. There are now 41 named Moseley presentation wings, with the two earliest ones I have seen being dated 9/14/40 (Bowen's and Perret's). If I had to guess, Bowen and Perret were likely associated with Mira Loma, which was added to the CFS program in August of 1940 (which makes sense of the 9/1940 date). -

Aha. Well, it sure was a puzzler. I never saw anything like it but saying so would have been of zero help to you in its identification. I'm glad that you were able to get a positive ID on it. Charlie -

. Another Hot-Rod at the show, This 1930 model Ford amused me as he was uncommonly running large military non-directional tyres on his rear axle, they had the appearance of wartime GMC tyres / tires, also fixed to his radiator cap was a 1930's model aircraft made of zinc based metals, often referred to as Pot-Metal or more correctly as Mazak metal.
