Air America China on eBay

[ppsh41]

Here's an oddity - a set of dinner plates from the Udorn mess hall.
It's not a complete set but still kind of cool - Noritake made plates for Air Vietnam too but I've only ever seen one.

Do you consider the price as being the right one ?

Price?

I'm not sure - I have a complete set of china that I paid less for - however, I'm sure that the buyer will break up the plates and sell them individually.

Even harder to find than Air America china

I've only ever seen one of these in a photo, not in person - Air Vietnam china plate - probably there was a complete set like the Air America since both came from Noritake.

The set is amazing !

I have never seen any plates (or cups...) like that while in SGN. I will ask around.
