Original Aero A-2 on display at Wendover Army Airfield Museum, Wendover, Utah

[Juanito]

Here is what I would guess is undoubtedly an Aero with the original berry colored waistband and epaulet design. Cuffs were period replaced with something not even close to original spec. This at the Wendover Museum. The focus of the museum is to restore the physical structures of the Airfield as opposed to other artifacts.

Wendover is where the training for the atomic bomb was held. If you are into that, there is an amazing array of photographs and documentation surrounding that.

Donated by the original owner's wife -- best to leave it well enough alone.

And Hap Arnold be damned! You suppose he threw out his A-2?

Mr. Juanito,
Thanks for posting the pictures. I had visited Wendover Field in about 1994ish. It certainly has been upgraded. As I can recall, base ops sold some Enola Gay t-shirts and some post cards
Cheers,
Don
