Hello forum..
I bought this lot recently at a yard sale for $100 (that is what they wanted/I didn't haggle).
I figured the wings are worth that alone. The family member was a bombardier.
Looks like he hacked away some pieces from a shot down Japanese plane of some kind. I guess he was looking for anything with Japanese writing on it.
There are also two pieces of canvas he cut out from something.
The air medal is not named but has the earlier brooch pinback. Box for watch is empty.
