I’m glad you like it, Randall! It was hard to say goodbye to. I’m happy it found a loving home on your head.View attachment 320361 A double take Knox Twenty WestLite that I got about 3 weeks ago to replace the one I sold 3 months ago.

This one has the Knox logo on the wind button. Don’t know if it’s original to the hat...but I like it.
BTW: I have a strong feeling the wind button is original. It was on the hat when I bought it some time back.View attachment 320361 A double take Knox Twenty WestLite that I got about 3 weeks ago to replace the one I sold 3 months ago.

Very coolJust got back from playing a littly hooky from work. Popped out to the USAF Museum as they had the C-47, "That's All, Brother" in for a visit.
The C-47 "Skytrain" has it's roots in the DC-3 and was manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. The "Brother" was the first aircraft to cross the channel late in the evening of June 5, 1944, as the opening salvo of Operation Overlord, carrying Airborne troops to go into battle. Constructed in 1942, the "Brother" also made glider runs to support the invasion. This aircraft went into commercial use sometime after the war and was found around 2015, acquired by the Commemorative Air Force, and restored to it's condition/state on D-Day.

I tried to be period appropriate, and wore my Marathon thin ribbon, which I believe to be from the early 1940s, if not earlier.
