Uniform of Arthur D. Farquhar, 1st Lt. , Squadriglia 6a (XI), Caproni Bombing Squadron. Squadriglia 6a had several pilots that were killed in action over the Vittorio Veneto Sector during a bombing raid in October 1918. Lt. Farquhar served at the front from 7-19-18 until the Armistice. He was awarded the Italian Cross of War as was another pilot in my collection, Allen Bevin (see Gorrell document). As you can see the medals have been converted to U.S. style broaches. The wing is pin back with a 60 degree opening. Any research help will be much appreciated.
