Absolutely stunning collection from a WWII 10th Air Force veteran. Major Petrer Edward Stanton served in the CBI theater as a bomber pilot flying over the mountains into Burma. These missions were very dangerous because any mechanical problems and the crews would have had a hard time bringing the planes down in one piece in this brutal environment.The Tenth Air Force initially provided control of all USAAF combat operations in the� China Burma India Theater� under theater commander Lt. Gen.� Joseph Stillwell. Units based in China were controlled by the� China Air Task Force� of the Tenth Air Force, created 4 July 1942 to replace the� American Volunteer Group, and commanded by Brig. Gen.� Claire Chennault.� The Tenth Air Force conducted offensive strategic bombing operations in Burma and supported Allied ground efforts with close air support and operations against Japanese communications and supply installations. This auction includes beautiful uniform with both bullion CBI patch and bullion 10th patch. Sterling pilot wings and ribbon bar. Btton under waist belt is missing. Perfect pinks pants.
