ARTIFACT:
Rare Chinese Air Transport shirt-size Senior Pilot Wing in original box of issue. These were used by CAT when the airline first had service into Laos: mid-1950's.
Artifacts that belonged to members of the original Flying Tigers are extremely hard to acquire and rarely come up for sale. Often collectors lucky enough to acquire anything from the AVG will hold onto the pieces for their entire lifetime and families rarely let these artifacts go if they are lucky enough to still possess them. Don't miss this chance to own a true piece of WWII Aviation History.
