    WW II uniform info

    I know there are some WW II "buffs" here. My father I law was a tailgunner on a B-26. I have no pictures of him in full uniform; so for his badge...would it be aircrew badge, or gunner badge?

      Some military qualifications are components of other more encompassing qualifications and it would therefore be redundant to wear the lesser qual. Now I don't know if that's the case with WWII Army Air Corps uniforms yet, it might be worth considering or looking into.

        Most U.S. Bomber crew had dual functions!
        Radio Operator/Gunner, Bombardier/gunner, & so on. I'm guessing that would be the "Aircrew" insignia?
        The Tail End Charlie seems to be strictly that so Air Gunner would make more sense?
