New bomb tags

[Jon Crow]

Hi guys, you all know I've been making and selling the rare reproduction USAAF bomb tags for years here and vintage jacket forum and other places as jacket pullers or collectable, I've started a new one, very rare, found this by luck, it's a parachute flare tag also used by bomber pathfinder squadrons to launch flares, these 5 are examples I've done but will be complete in a couple of days, same deal and price as before, shipping, due to the current mess I'll mark as gift.

Ok in a nutshell, when a bomb is armed before dropping aerial there is a pin that must be pulled, the pin has a warning tag on it

Fascinating detail that will have to go in my fiction writing. And so bombardiers would have these in their pockets?

I've never come across German ones, I'll have to research that, either they had a different system or I've just never read it

I think whatever you wrote somehow disappeared from the post, unfortunately.
