Original U.S. WWII AAF Named Bombardier Captain’s Uniform with Theater-Made Bullion 5th & 7th Air Force Patches - W.P. Michl

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a great Army Air Forces Officer’s uniform set named on the interior tag to Captain W.P. Michl(?). The last letter of the name is not easily discernible, making for a good research project. The jacket has beautiful bullion patches and a set of Sterling Bombardier wings. 

The jacket has beautiful theater-made bullion patches for the 5th Air Force on the right shoulder and the 7th Air Force on the left shoulder. There are US & AAF collar insignia and Captain’s bars on both shoulders. Over the left breast pocket is a 4-place ribbon bar with the American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Campaign Medal with 1 campaign star, the Occupation of Japan medal, and the WWII Victory Medal. Above this is a great wartime set of Sterling Bombardier Wings. There is heavy mothing across the jacket in many places including the sleeves, the bottom half of the exterior, and many places on the interior. 

The jacket is dated on the interior label 8/26/44. The jacket was tailored in Kansas City, Missouri. This with the name should make for an exciting research project.

The included trousers aren’t the same color but they complement the set well.

A great uniform set with good research potential, ready for display.
