Zippo Vietnam Lighter

That's a cool one Gary.
My buddy(Aviation Marine) was at Da Nang during the TET offensive.
But that base was also Army and Air force. Would have to do some research to see who your guy was attached to..

Phil I was just reading a letter that mentions the take ten . It cost 2 dollars a month to join but they had a show on Saturdays and great steaks . mostly army and navy according to the letter . Gary

Yeah Army would have been my guess also as the Marine Corps has an Enlisted club , then Staff NCO clubs then "O". Navy has the Enlisted and then the Chief's club then "O'. I know from personal experience when deployed to an Air Force base that the Air Force just has a club, it's either Enlisted or Officer.

Here is mine.
It's a Japanese knock-off but I believe it to be original.
I've had it in my collection sense the late 70's.

A very cool one. I was wondering why two air bases had stars on that lighter and it's because the 56th was an Air Defence arty. That is really cool. Semper Fi. Phil

All yours Steve....I'm leaning towards the Air America one...even though it is probably a "commercial" piece of corporate swag for the "legit" side of the airline, it still is tied to the CIA
