The
extraordinary G-1 of LCDR. W.O. Nelson, spanning combat
deployments in WWII and Korea and continuing into the 1950s.
Note the scarce WWII VF-27 leather and sought after VF-721
"Starbusters" patches as well as stunning VAN-5 "Modern Minute
Man." LCDR Nelson's diary documents KW escort missions. The
1955 USS Badeong Strait (CVE-116) cruise book identifies LCDR
Nelson. Rarely do jackets of this importance find rescue from
the ravages of time. |
