Fine United States Army Air Service Uniform Tunic Decorated for an Enlisted Man of the 174th Aero Squadron

Constructed from olive green wool, the tunic is fitted with a set of round "US" and "winged propeller" emblems on the raised collar, with a World War One Victory Medal ribbon on the left breast, "174" and a propeller in black-bordered white embroidery on the right shoulder, a gold overseas service chevron on the left cuff, and a red-on-green private's chevron below an embroidered patch featuring a black cat perched on a fence and backed by a full moon on the left shoulder. The interior is lined in brown twill, with no visible stamps or tags. Established late in 1917, the 174th trained in England but did not make it to combat before the war ended.

ConditionVery good, with some light wear and handling on the exterior. Some of the patch stitching is absent, and the lining has partially disconnected from the bottom hem.
