This print showcases an Officers service coat from the United States Army Air Corps, dating back to approximately 1935. Created by Lauterstein, this wool uniform jacket is adorned with four brass buttons and features an open collar design. The distinguished rank of a first lieutenant is denoted by the prominent bars on the coat. Colored in olive drab, it represents the military's signature hue during that era. Adding to its allure are two remarkable embellishments: a silver bullion pilot badge and an aerial gunner award crafted with meticulous detail. These symbols highlight the wearer's exceptional skills and achievements in aviation. Displayed at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), this artifact serves as a testament to America's rich heritage in air force history. As part of the Smithsonian Institution, NASM preserves significant objects like this officers' service coat for educational purposes. Steeped in nostalgia, this photograph transports us back to a defining period of American military prowess during World War II. It embodies not only personal equipment but also signifies bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who served their country selflessly. Lauterstein's expert craftsmanship captured every intricate feature of this timeless uniform piece, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance even decades later.
