WW2 US AAF officer jacket lapel pin placement?

**AZPhil** · 03-18-2013, 11:42 PM

Hello Gent's,
I just picked up a WW2 8th AF officer jacket that did not have the lapel pins on it. I have since gotten both the U.S. and the winged propeller lapel pin's ,but I need to know exactly where to place them on the jacket's lapel. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

There are specific regs, but you'll have to wait
for me to post pics tonight.........

There is an 'Officer's Guide' ( 1944 ) which shows correct placement,
but I do not believe it has changed much - if at all.

Hope this is readable.........

Yes I can read it and it looks like centered and 1/2" above and 1/2" below the cut in the lapel.
Once again YOU DA MAN!!!!!
Thanks Steve
