Way in the back of an upstairs closet, in a couple of plastic bags tied at both ends, was my father's USAAF uniform and his three-quarter length officer's overcoat. I also found what must have been his A-1. OK. Just kidding about the A-1. That's my Goodwear. But it looks pretty cool with Dad's stuff, doesn't it. Anyhow, I polished up the brass and ran a lint roller over the jacket...but otherwise this is exactly how I found his Pinks and Greens earlier last week. By the way, I guess when the war ended, he was in the 1st Air Force waiting for assignment to the PTO.
Mom has maintained for years that Dad threw all his WWII stuff away in a cleaning fit two decades ago. Damn, I'm glad she was wrong!
