Original U.S. WWII AAF 8th Air Force Ordnance Watch & Dog Tag Group with Aerial Gunner Wings - Hugh G. Ingram
In stock
-
Original Items. One-of-a-Kind Group. This is the ordnance watch and dog tag grouping of Hugh G. Ingram of the Army Air Forces. Ingram enlisted on April 17th, 1943, but we can’t find very much information on his service. The group includes a set of Sterling Aerial Gunner Wings which are etched on the rear with ELLIS 15126468, identifying them to another member of the AAF, Ray C Ellis. We aren’t sure if they served together, but there is more research to be done.
The ordnance watch is not marked by a maker, but still runs as far as we can tell, however we can not guarantee that it will keep good time and not stop occasionally. It has what appears to be the original band, and it is stamped on the back:
ORD DEPT.
U.S.A.
OG-12232
