Talking USAAF hat





This is an Ebay pick up for $50! a perfect hat complete with the owners name. So far I have collected a list of all his missions (in his own words), and spoke to a friend of his whom was his pilot - Odis Taylor.

Mac served in the 458th BG ( Horsham St. Faiths) 752nd SQ and was a bombardier on a B-24.

Although I have many many more Luftwaffe items - this hat and the story of the man whom owned it makes this my favorite - I feel connected to the histroy in a way that is hard to explain - something none of the Luftwaffe items I have can compare.
Regards,
John
