Description
This is a Korean War coffee mug from the United States Air Force 37th Bomb Squadron, aka the "Royal Bengals". The mug is pink and is slightly textured to suggest a barrel. One side shows the team's insignia with DARRELL in gilt and the other reads K-9 KOREA and shows an aircraft. The focal point on the mug is arguably the handle, which is a nude woman in a slight backbend. The mug is sold as is.
