The grouping includes two "flying tiger" patches (one 5 1/2 inches in diameter, multicolor embroidered on silk, one bullion wire on black felt), one China-Burma-India patch (bullion wire on blue velvet), Amico-brand sterling silver bomber wings, a patch for the 374th Bomb Squadron (leather on leather with paint accents, depicting a bat-like creature carrying two bombs), and an embroidered silk drape/banner, about 52 inches long and 6 3/4 inches wide, blue field with 374th BS and Flying Tiger motifs, a dragon, U.S. Army Air Force and CBI emblems, and "China/1944" decoration. The 374th was activated in 1942 and deployed to China in 1943, performing bombing actions against Japanese ground and water assets. Also included are three copies of a picture of American airmen at work around a B-24 bomber named "80 Days"; records on this bomber are limited but indicate it was with the 374th in China. Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection

Very good, with wear appropriate to age. The bomber wings have one of the rear pins detached.
