    Looking extremely rumpled in a M1949 "zoot suit" that appears to be several sizes too big for him-- note dress uniform tabs and field service boards-- Lieutenant Nikolai Petrovich Vyalkov's M1950 navigator/bombardier wings are so reflective that class cannot be determined. Unit 21458, undated:

    He's wearing the 1948 armed forces jubilee medal.

    Reference above is to a Soviet pattern but NON-Soviet wing we saw at the show. Nope. No clues.

    I've rescanned those horrible :speechless1: old scans of the military pilot's ID. THESE are better. :rolleyes:

    And the two 3rd Classes compared. I really like that sky blue enamel, and don't know why the nicest looking badges were the lowest class! :speechless:

    :speechless1::speechless1: a HITLER mustache!!!!!!!
