Vintage 1930's West Point / USAF Wool Cardigan Some wear from 80yrs, Top/bottom buttons are missing. Tag reads: "Philip Sheridan U.S.A.F." Size Small 18-20" Chest Width, 26" Length I have for sale what I believe is a 1930's (possibly early 40's) West Point Military Academy wool cardigan. The tag also reads "U.S.A.F" for what I assume is the Air Force. I have a picture attached showing a cardigan such as this being worn by a class of 1938 military student. Here is what I have found about Philip Sheridan, member of the 449th: Philip J. Sheridan, of Georgia 2nd Lieutenant North Africa Theater 449th Bombardment (Heavy) Group B-24/The Flying Horsemen Squadron 716 Assigned to Pistol Packin Mama (serial # 42-52146)- one of the original 15 planes from squadron 716 Nebraska to Grottaglie, Italy. Crew leader Gil Bradley (C 6-5). Sheridan flew co-pilot several missions w/ Gil Bradley. Feb. 22, 1944 Sheridan flew co-pilot w/ Robert Bird (Crew leader of 6-13) but in Gil Bradley's plane Pistol Packin Mama on bombing mission to Regensburg, Germany. Plane damaged-Entire crew jumped together 50 mi. south of Graz, Austria. All 10 crew members became POW's. Liberated 1945. Worked in GA/ Coors Beer wholesaler post WW2 (449th Bombardment Group Association newsletter "Last Call".)
