Description
Rare just post AVG Period, Early WWII (2nd ½ 1942). Chinese made United States Army Air Forces Blood Chit or Rescue Patch. Still in the larger AVG size (about 7 7/8"x 10 ½") but with the Aero Commission Chop at left instead of centered. The original four digit serial # (appears to be 1332) was stamped out (with the same ink as the May Guo stamp) and a new LOW, 5 digit serial # 0699Only two characters near serial #, unlike later chits with three characters. As close as you can get to an AVG chit without being one, and a great variation for the Advanced Collection.
