He has 1 service stripe and four oversea service bars. On the other side he has a engineering specialst patch. His DI are for the Air Corps Tech school.

Well Gary thanks for showing that is a beauty a rare piece then must be as it is not in the books i have or never heard of that patch.

Airwarrior I found the patch in one of my books but they just have a photo of it no history. I like things like this gives you something to do. Gary
