A collection in the making of almost 30 years, there are many one-of-a-kind pieces in it that will be coming into the collecting market, as well as some of the "Best of Type" pieces. Many wonderful numismatic and biographical wings, uniforms, and groupings will be coming to market for the first time in years, some for the first time ever, over the coming months. This wing is one of those offerings???

Fabulous, exquisite, and extremely rare circa 1943 UK-made United States Army Air Forces unofficial Radioman wing in gorgeous bullion on combat crew woven blue wool.
