Famous WW2 Quote
"Goddam it, you'll never get the Purple Heart hiding in a foxhole! Follow me!"Captain Henry P. Jim Crowe, Guadalcanal, 13 Jan 1943
28 Jun 2015 10:43:04 AM
The aircraft is a Cessna UC-78 Bobcat and the vehicle is an aircraft tug. Note Col. Hobby’s cap piece. In US military tradition, the cap piece identifies the branch of service first and then officer or enlisted second. The fact that Col. Hobby’s cap piece is quite different from the regular Army officer’s cap piece is driven by the gender bias of the time signifying that Col. Hobby may be Army, but never quite “real” Army. The practice was corrected shortly after the war.
