    WW2 US Navy Hellcat Pilot's Estate Lot...Dog Tags, Pilot's Wings, Photos & Paper
    .
    Wonderful collection from the estate of a WW2 US Navy Hellcat Pilot, William ("Fly Low") Chatham, Jr.  Includes his tags, pilot's wings, Naval Air Training Certificate, personal military photos of his plane and other in-theater images (plus some negatives), other personal photos, reunion photo and reunion organizing letters/newsletters, and a few other provenance-type items.  Something I thought was pretty cool is how Mr. Chatham used the personal photo of his #25 Hellcat on his later-in-life professional envelopes (see pic. #4).
    Please consult the photos for content/condition specifics, and feel free to send along any questions you may have.
    From a smoking-free home.  Please, only US bidders. Shipping for this lot is .99 for US Priority mail.
