Here are some shots of my Poughkeepsie A-2 that was issued to a man from Yellville, AR who served as a gunnery instructor during the war. Enjoy.

Just now seeing this! John R Ott of Yellville, Arkansas. Served as a gunnery instructor and didn’t arrive in the ETO until March 1945. I’ve got some of his manuals on gunnery also have his wings, dog tags, and his ID

Nice. My size. But not in my budget

That would be 3500 Canadian dollars plus shipping and tax
