This is a large cool, bizarre and completely unique grouping of militaria related to Captain Robert G. Bensing of the USAF during the Post WWII- could War years. During WWII Bensing was a B-17 “Flying Fortress” Pilot in the 385th Bomb Group of the 8th Air Force in late 1944 and early 1945. After the war Bensing became some kind of important USAF Engineer specializing in the construction of Air Fields. This large group, half a storage tub worth of materials, tells that story. Bensing spent a lot of time in Taiwan, in the 1960s, working with the Chinese-American Combined Service Forces. Hundreds of Photographs small ones of people and places and dozens of 8×10 showing the construction of air fields? Original Metal Plaque dedicated to Bensing for “With Remeberance for a Job Well Done” presented to Bensing by a Colonel named S. A pile of leather name patches, uniform patches and pins – some very unusual. Framed certificate from “The Society of Bushed Engineers” dated 1953. 5 undeveloped Film rolls and a few loose negatives. Absolutely unique Box containing wall Plaque, with Chinese writing, a pair of cufflinks and a pin. Inside the box is a note card labeled Presentation From Combined Service Forces Republic of China. 1943 Squadron Photo 44-c. Taken in Ontario California, Cal Aero. Large photos, presumably Bensing in training and the only wwii item included in the otherwise post wwii group. Please ask any questions.
