Item specifics
Size: S  
 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".)


I can not guarantee the accuracy of what I've found, but I do believe everything I've stated to be true. These are my findings from those who were willing to help. If you have any more information, please let me know, and I will include it in the auction.

This auction will run it's full course. Let me know if you have any questions (I have perfect feedback and am always willing to help), and may the best bid win. Good luck!
