VINTAGE 1950’s KOREAN WAR 80TH FIGHTER SQUADRON HEADHUNTERS MUG AWARDS
From the estate of a True American Hero, this collection of Korean War Memorabilia was amassed by Milton “Milt” Uzelac. He was a former fighter pilot, a test pilot and lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force. He flew over 100 missions in the Korean War and helped supervise, design and develop the B-2 stealth bomber. He was part of the famed “Headhunters” group who kept the Chinese Mig-17 at bay during the Korean War Conflict. These are some of his awards. A mug dated “1951” with his name “Milt” on the back, a picture of a Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star and a crud picture of the famed “Headhunters” Logo. The mug is in Very Good Condition except for the handle which broke off and was repaired many years ago. Still, this is probably a one-of-a-kind piece which you will probably never find again. A Sterling Silver Bowl with the inscription “From the Officers of Jet Training Unit 200″. This is from the early 1950’s. The bowl has weathered and there is a circular crack/fracture along the bottom. It is fully intact and will display nicely. Milt’s Service Folder which at one time contained details about his military history. The paperwork is gone but the folder remains intact. Included in the folder is a black and white portrait of Lt Colonel Milt Uzelac dated 1972. US Joint Service Commendation Medal complete with Bars – In beautiful pristine Condition. This is quite a collection from a Distinguished Military Veteran that is also a time capsule from the early days of Jet Warfare and Korean War Conflict. Hopefully, a collector will keep these pieces together, as they tell a story of a man who was proud to service his country..
