Groups

9th Air Force Navigator Group - Lt. John O. Lobig
~ 552nd Bomb Squadron 386th Bomb Group

9th Air Force ETO ~ serving as Navigator on B-26 Marauder medium bomber. The highlight of the grouping is a magnificent photo album, nearly 4" thick with excellent content from all areas of this vet's service ~ training, combat action, nose art and crew photos, home front, and retuning home after the war. Interesting history, this veteran started in service with the Marine Corps pre-WWII and includes a small USMC photo album, studio photograph in uniform, USMC graduation unit photo, and an early engraved Marine Corps Good Conduct medal. His USAAF items included are cased DFC medal, Air Medal, dog tags, original discharge document, original service record document, original 386th BG unit history book, AAF Navigator School Graduation book, large framed colorized studio portrait in formal dress uniform, a great "short snorter" with several notes and lots of signatures. A post-war reunion 552nd bomb squadron patch is also included. The photographic content alone is amazing, with just a highlight shown ~ lots more content to be seen. Overall, a fantastic grouping!

USN Patrol Pilot's Grouping VPB-2

Lt.(JG) Cloyd F. Hoover flying PBY Catalina and PBM Mariners. A nice veteran's grouping featuring the USN Type M-445A shearling flight jacket in (size 38), shearling flight gloves, cold weather face mask, Type AN-6530 flying goggles, Pilot wing badges, documents, certificates, paperwork, Log books, dog tag, personalized I.D. bracelet, and much more. The shearling jacket does have one small repair tear on the back (as shown), otherwise a very clean solid example that displays well. The goggle face pad is somewhat stiff, otherwise excellent. Overall, a very nice complete grouping to a Navy Patrol Bomber Pilot from WWII.
