Hello everyone, like the last ike I posted I've had this USN LtCdr. aviators uniform since September but have just gotten around to posting it.

Has beautiful Bullion wings and an amazing sewn-on ribbon bar. It is also one of the largest ww2 uniforms I have ever come across. As evident by the pictures. It is named to a "J Wheelen but I haven't been able to do much research on it yet.

As always thanks for looking and let me know what you think!

THAT is a beautiful uniform!

I’ve been dying to get a decorated navy pilot uniform like this for years

Thanks rene and eagle, just happened to be my luck that I stumbled across this uniform, in my experience these are tough to find!

dumb question from me!, what's the bar 1st in the 2nd row?

No problem rene! It's a Naval President Unit Citation, this pilot was awarded it twice

Slight correction. His "unit" was awarded it twice. Would be interesting to know however what Navy air unit was awarded it twice and for what reasons. Start your research! LoL

Thanks for clearing it up MAP, unfortunately as there's no ship or anything attached to him aside from his last name and first initial I've found it almost impossible to research who this belonged to so far
