Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:79179 |
The US fought a two ocean war in WW2, and it all hinged upon the Panama Canal. The powerful 6th US Army Air Force operated from the Canal Zone to protect Allied shipping convoys in the Caribbean from marauding German U-boat wolfpacks. This US Army AAF WW2 WOMEN'S 6TH AIR FORCE BADGED NURSE KHAKI SUMMER SERVICE SHIRT is in very good condition, with some light surface nicking around the collar, some loose stitching to the upper left edge of the left sleeve chevron, a p...inhole at the lower right back, some scattered brownish spot soiling throughout, some scattered crazing to most of the buttons, some overall wrinkling, missing the bottom front button, and with some light overall age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the shirt is in fine shape, with no other damage to the lightweight yet tough khaki 100% cotton poplin construction. Most interestingly, it bears the classic 6th Air Force patch at the left shoulder, carries embroidered on twill Buck Sergeant chevrons at the sleeves, and is stamped four times with the service number "B-0974" at the inside neck. Though the shirt is not explicitly marked for a nurse, it's from the same grouping as three that were, and is undoubtedly from the same servicewoman. It boasts single exposed button flap closure chest pockets, button cuffs, and pleats at the front, back, and wrists, sports all but one of the original small flat rimmed khaki plastic buttons throughout, and is a fine example of a rare, original US Army AAF WW2 WOMEN'S 6TH AIR FORCE BADGED NURSE KHAKI SUMMER SERVICE SHIRT.
