Red Devil Posted March 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2019 I am proud to share a neat grouping to a RCAF veteran that I recently picked up. There is a lot of neat pieces here, including original newspaper clippings of the veteran's wartime service. Parts of his kit are there too, including wedge cap, sewing kit, and a heavy pair of gloves. The insignia group includes padded wings, Operations badge, sew-on ribbon bars, and many pieces of ribbon. Here are some photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Devil Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted March 24, 2019 Well-worn wedge cap has faint ID written on the label. The gloves are marked with the Canadian acceptance mark. Anyone know what model these would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Devil Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted March 24, 2019 Gloves details. Also a really nice framed Halifax bomber print with notations--it identifies the exact aircraft and squadron of the vet! All comments and feedback welcome!

teamski Posted March 24, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 24, 2019 A neat grouping for sure. I don't think they are digitized yet, but you could look into getting his mission debriefs. Really interesting reading. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46IR Posted March 25, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 25, 2019 Very nice grouping, the gloves im unfamiliar with although they do have a lot of similaritys with the US A10 glove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Devil Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted March 26, 2019 Thank you all for the positive feedback. I also noticed the similarity of the gloves with the A10s, and would have thought they were civilian until I found the acceptance markings. Where would one inquire about mission debriefs?
