Can anyone tell me if this ribbon is from WWII campaigns?

Yes it is. DFC, Bronze Star, Air Medal, Pacific Campaign w/ 3 Battle Stars.
One thing that stuck out to me, is that Navy pilots were awarded stars instead
of Oak Leaves on their Air Medals designating another award of the medal.
Normally Navy pilots were awarded oversized gold stars to their Air Medals.
This one appears to have Bronze Battle stars from a campaign ribbon instead.
It does not mean it is wrong, just odd.

Thanks Jeff that's great info. At the end of the day I guess it's impossible to verify if it's actually genuine but it's good to know thta the ribbon computes
Is there a good online resource to learn more about the meaning of those ribbons?
Thanks,
Tom
