RARE historical 1948 AFTB Guide To Air Force Technical Base Wright Patterson Fields Dayton, Ohio. At the time of this pamphlet printing January 1948, it was still known as the AFTB. Wright Patterson Air Force Base was officially called the Air Force Technical Base (AFTB) for only about a year, from 1947 to 1948. Air Force was established in 1947, the base was redesignated as the Air Force Technical Base, and in 1948 it was officially named Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. History of the Name Changes. 1947: The base was known as the Air Force Technical Base (AFTB). 1948: The base was renamed Wright-Patterson Air Force Base after the two original fields, Wright Field and Patterson Field, were combined to form the single installation.

This metal plaque and bust is a perfect addition for collectors interested in militaria from the United States Air Force. The plaque measures 18 inches by 16 inches and features the emblem of the 325th Civil Engineer Squadron. The bust, which measures 10 inches, is signed by Terrance Patterson and depicts a member of the Air Force. This unique piece is perfect for anyone interested in collecting Air Force memorabilia or militaria in general. The plaque and bust are in excellent shape and would make a great addition to any collection. Don’t miss out on the chance to own this one-of-a-kind item. The plaque an bust came to me as a set so I believe they are supposed to be together. The plaque is 18″ from base to top and the bust is 10″ tall. The bust is signed on the back by Terrance Patterson as you can see on the included photos. The bust clearly has a “badge” that reads USAF Civil Engineer. A really beautiful set that I hope stays together because that’s how they were meant to be.
