WW1 - 1920s US Air Service Pilot's Trunk Group
This beautiful trunk group was obtained from the veteran's wife shortly after his passing in 1979. He joined the air service in June 1918 but did not complete flight training and obtain his wings until March 1919. He was 30 years old when he obtained his wings. Although he did not serve overseas he remained in the reserves until the late 20s. This group includes his jacket tailored with an open collar in 1925-26, with 20s air service insignia and a beautiful WW1 sterling marked pilot's wings, includes his whipcord trousers, boots, spurs, visor cap, cadet's overcoat, Pilot's book, flight helmet and goggles (damaged lens), ID card, elgin watch with protective cover (watch does not run but probably can be repaired, Name engraved on rear), a bunch of misc. items and paperwork. Items all show use and wear from his years in the service but are in overall very nice condition. Groups like this complete hardly ever turn up any more. The wing is gorgeous! $3,200.00WW1 First Division Circus Beer Mug and RPPC

Nice group to a Montana soldier who served with Co M. of the 308th Infantry and received a gunshot wound at Binarville in the Argonne Forest on 4 October 1918. Since Co. M was not in the pocket with what became known as the Lost Battalion, this soldier was wounded during the attack to reach them. Group has his original induction and discharge certificates, lots of misc. documents and paperwork, his VFW cap, and several photos. One of the photo postcards is of this soldier, the other are officers and enlisted members of Co. M. You can see that one soldier and one officer are wearing Distinguished Service Crosses.
