HUGE Vintage US Practice Training Bomb Aircraft

This large size practice bomb does not come up very often. It is in very good condition , with minor dings scratches and scrapes. The ax cut near the tail is the decommissioning. It is about 5′ 4″ tall and 12″ in diameter. Comes apart in the middle with 8 bolts holding it. The top section is a big water tank for adding weight. Looks like it drains through the tail. Pictures are a major part of the description….. Please review them closely on a good size screen. But it varies so much in cost I usually offer it as my second option in the listing.

HUGE Estate Lot / FIRST Female Air Force General Jeannie M. Holm Uniforms Medals

Posted on May 8, 2018 by admin Posted in huge

For your consideration is this museum-quality Estate lot from the FIRST Female General in the Air Force, and the FIRST two-star female General in our Nations History. Much can be found about the long, illustrious life and career of Major General Jeannie M. Holm online, so I will only write in this description what is included in this once in a lifetime offering and allow you to research the historical importance of this collection. ALL of Major General Holm’s uniforms, medals, awards, and correspondence regarding her ground-breaking promotions is included in this sale. I’m hoping this lot makes its way into a museum or public space, but I also understand there may be an opportunity for someone to sell pieces individually to collectors. At this time, we would like to sell it all together. The Uniforms: All uniforms are in Immaculate condition. Each was dry-cleaned after its last use and stored in a smoke free home. There are no moth holes, marks, stains, etc. They are all pristine. Most pieces are marked, stamped, or embroidered with her name. One Complete Set of Service Mess Dress (pictured in the first photo). It includes the original stars/shoulder boards and miniature medals. Two sets of Dress Blues – Both include ribbons, and one includes Major General stars. Blue tops and bottoms (skirts) are included. I’m not sure if there should be white or light blue undershirts as a part of this uniform, or if it’s the same as the one used for the mess dress uniform. Also a point to note, this is the uniform she wore in all the iconic photos of her on the internet. One very rare, 1960’s Female dress white Formal Dinner blouse and jacket. I couldn’t find a ton of info online about these, but believe it was worn with the same long skirt as the Service Mess Dress, and that the shoulder boards are interchangeable with the uniform listed below. One very rare, 1950’s/1960’s Female Formal Dinner Dress Uniform. This comes with a full length skirt, and two-star shoulder boards. Medals and Awards: There are too many to list. Major General Holm’s Distinguished Service Medals and original signed certificate are present. There are several hundred of various letters of appreciation/congratulations from prominent civilians (most unresearched) all the way up to the Secretary of the Air Force. Approximately 50-75 of these signed letters are from fellow Air Force generals congratulating her on her promotion to one star and two star General. Other notable signed items are listed below.

This flag could be ironed by its new owner, and would display as new.

HUGE LOT WWII & LATER MEDALS WINGS RIBBON BARS INSIGNIA 8th AIR FORCE 44BG PILOT

Posted on July 13, 2016 by admin Posted in huge

Rank insignia (some sterling marked), three pilot wings (all Sterling marked) and a few odds and ends. These items were removed from a very large shadowbox display relating to the career of retired Air Force Colonel Walter I. Bunker flew with the 8th Air Force 44th Bomb Group (Flying Eightballs) during WWII and flew many combat missions including the famous 8/1/1943 Ploesti mission as pilot of B-24 41-24235 “Earthquake McGoon”. Bunker stayed in the Air Force after WWII retiring as a full Colonel. Everything seen in the photos is included in the lot. 35 medals with some duplicate medals as seen. The bronze star is named to Bunker and is the only named medal in the lot. Some appear to be WWII era medals with the bulk of them being post war. The lot also includes many ribbon bars, WWII & later rank insignia, 3 sets of pilot wings, a 1950’s? Leather command pilot namestrip, a 1953 dated dead reckoning computer, a few tattered newspaper clippings, and a tattered WWII original snapshot photo of a battle damaged B-24. The items are mainly in poor condition as they were removed from the shadow box display. Most items have had the pins, clutches, catches, etc.. Removed so that they would lay flat in the shadow box. The majority of the items also have age tarnishing/oxidation and glue or glue/mounting paper residue on the backs. Some of the ribbons are faded and medals may exhibit varying degrees of wear & damage. The photo and newspaper clippings are in poor condition with losses and tears. The photo has a Gilette razor logo glued to the left side for some reason. The case for the flight computer has some staining and glue residue. Luckily, the WWII sterling pin backed wing and Korean War era sterling Command Pilot wing are complete and undamaged with just slight signs of glue residue on backs. The second Sterling marked command pilot wing has had the clutch posts broken off as seen. Most of the WWII rank insignia are also complete and exhibit tarnishing & wear and a few have broken pins or catches. Most of the ribbon bars are a mess with glue and paper residue and broken pins.
