Major General Jack Kenneth Gamble earned his AAF pilot wings in 1943, and flew 93 combat missions in the Bristol Beaufighter as part of the 414th Night Fighter Squadron on missions over North Africa, Sardinia, Corsica, Southern France, and Northern Italy. He was officially credited with a joint kill on a Luftwaffe Dornier Do217 “Flying Pencil” bomber on January 23, 1944. He assumed command of the 29th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (flying the F-94 Starfire) in December 1953, then the 319th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (flying the F-106 Delta Dart) in November 1960, and subsequently served as the director of operations of the 86th Air Division (flying the F-102 Delta Dagger) out of Ramstein Air Base, Germany from July 1964 to July 1967. He commanded the 52nd Fighter Wing and then the 35th Air Division in the late 1960s, and his last assignment was as the commander of the Alaskan Air Command, a post that he held from March 1974 to his retirement in September 1975.

Gamble at the left chest, the striking machine embroidered patch of the “43RD TACTICAL FIGHTER SQUADRON” at the right chest (an F-4 Phantom squadron assigned to Alaskan Air Command under CO General Jack Gamble), and the familiar plastic covered two star Major General rank insignia at each shoulder strap, and carries the traditional “EXPERIMENTAL TEST SAMPLE / CLOTHING BRANCH” label at the inside neck.
