I was just talking with John about my Dubow 20960, soon to arrive, and about the AAF shoulder decal I was interested in getting. What he said was that they were a late-war thing-- required to be applied after August 1944, I think he said-- and were only applied to A-2s that went through the depot refurbishing.
So I went through all the pictures I could find of A-2s being worn during the war, and I think he may be right. There were very few that showed the left shoulder, it's true, and not too many with specific dates, but just about none of those that I did find had a shoulder decal. Any thoughts on this?
