US Army Air Corps / Army Air Forces class-A dress jacket with a grouping of documents pertaining to the military career of Captain Monroe Homer Jr.

The jacket, the navigation kit and the documents all came together from this pilot's family. The jacket doesn't show any identification. It has the US / AC collar insignia, pin back Captain shoulder insignia and a 3in Gemsco sterling wings.

Captain Homer was amongst the early pilots sent overseas. Further research indicates that he was flying on P-38 lightning and was first sent to England with the 78th FG, then sent to North Africa with the 14th FG / 49th FS. He achieved his 50 missions and earned at least 2 bronze stars, first as a pilot and later as a flight leader.

He was sent back to the US and became a flight instructor at Santa Maria, CA army air base. The most part of the documents are referring to his training as a flight instructor and his instruction courses. The navigation kit leather folder is identified to Homer, then a 2nd Lt, and also specifies "ETO U.S.A.A.F".

A very nice grouping!

Veste de sortie classe-A et groupe de documents relatant la carrière militaire du Capitaine Monroe Homer Jr.

La veste, le kit de navigation et les documents proviennent de la famille de ce pilote. La veste ne montre pas d'identification. Elle dispose des insignes de col US / Air Corps, d'insignes d'épaule à épingle de capitaine et d'un brevet de pilote 3in Gemsco sterling.

Le Capitaine Homer fut parmi les premiers pilotes US à avoir été envoyé à l'outre-mer. Plus amples recherches montrent que le Capt. Homer volait sur P-38 Lightning et fut envoyé dans un premier temps en Angleterre, au sein du 78eme FG, et fut ensuite envoyé en Afrique du Nord, alors au sein du 14eme FG / 49eme FS. Il a accomplit ses 50 missions et à été décoré d'au moins deux Bronze Stars, d'abord comme Pilote, puis comme commandant de vol.

Il est ensuite retourné vers les Etats-Unis et est devenu un instructeur de vol à la base aérienne de Santa Maria en Californie. La plupart de ses documents réfèrent à son entrainement en temps qu'instructeur de vol et à ses cours de pilotage. Le porte-document en cuir est identifié au Lt. Homer, alors un 2nd Lt, et spécifie également "ETO U.S.A.A.F."

Un très bel ensemble!
