Description

*cWW2, USA, Trench Art - Decorated Bullet 56 1 Flight Group, Pendant*

This is a unique piece comprising a brass bullet that has been embellished with Wings and an oval medallion depicting a Star over outstretched Eagle Wings over a scroll with the numbers 56 1. It is similar in style to American  Dieges and Clust Military Pilot Wings. It has a pierced holes at the top so it maybe worn as a pendant.

This memorial bullet with its wings insignia may well be a memento made for 56th Fighter Group. They were an American World War II P-47 Thunderbolt fighter group. Assigned to the Eighth Air Force in England, the 56th FG flew its first combat missions of World War II on 13 April 1943. During its two-year involvement in the air war in Europe, the group damaged or destroyed 1,598.5 enemy aircraft, while losing only 25 fighters in air-to-air combat. The 56th FG also produced 39 fighter aces. The 56th Fighter Wing was activated on 15 August 1947. The wing's mission was air defense. The unit wrote another chapter in aviation history 14 July 1948, when its F-80 Shooting Stars made the first ever west-to-east crossing of the Atlantic by military jets. The flight was a month after the Soviets set up their blockade of Berlin, and put the Soviets on notice that this nation had the capability to deploy a large package of military aircraft across the Atlantic in minimum time.

15cm x 10.5cm x 1.5cm diameter

This unique piece of history is in good condition. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
