Vintage Rare WWll US Army Twelfth 12th Air Force Silk Scarf USAF Planes Military

Vintage hard to find WWll US Army Twelfth 12th Air Force Silk Scarf. The scarf was made as part of a series that were made during WWII to show support for our forces. This scarf features planes, their names and the USAF insignia patch. In excellent condition with hand rolled hem, no damage noted except a very light tiny stain. A light steaming on the back side, could do wonders for this piece if you would want to display it hanging. A couple photos show the lines from my blinds sorry! The background is nice and white. Thanks and have a great day!
