Hello, Thank you Andrew ! Tim

Hello, This B-10 jacket was sold a few weeks ago on ebay (I'm not the buyer). http://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/WWII-USAAF-B-10-flight-jacket-Spec-3157-size-36-/252378638929 Looks original but I've never seen such label. Does anyone know any original jacket with such label ? Here is another label...

Re: Un ami doit faire parvenir un calot indochine d'eBay Fra Hi Couchy, pm sent ;) Tim

Thank you ! That's why I couldn't find this patch in my 15th AF documentation. The picture must have been taken before going overseas. Thanks again for your sharing your knowledge. Cheers, Tim

Hello, I'm sure I know this insignia but must admit I can't find it in my books. The man on the picture is Lt Roy L Atherton. I have found him in the 301st BG roster but the insignia doesn't match with the 301st BG squadrons'... Back of the picture is marked "Roy 1943". He may have been...
