Guys: Did you see the recent auction for Duane Beeson's Class A chocolate tunic dated to November 1942? That would be two months after he transferred to the 4th FG from RAF No. 71 squadron. Beeson, as many of you know, was a leading ace, with 22 confirmed kills. He had, in my opinion, one of THE coolest nicknames/nose art panels -- The Boise Bee.
Here's a link to the Beeson Wikipedia Page
The tunic sold for $405.00
Some of the detail photos are below. (Note the beautiful bullion insignia.)
I sure hope this ended up in a museum!
