Named World War II Aviator Uniform 8th Army Air Force WWII WW2

Very nice World War II US officers Olive Drab service coat and khaki shirt that belonged to a pilot in the 8th Army Air Force. There is the laundry number "L-3872", which is stamped in the armpit, below the collar, and inside the khaki shirt. There is also a paper tag pinned to the inside of the coat bearing the last name "Lefoldt".

The coat is a very well made example, with lower ticket pockets, and overall superior craftsmanship. The shoulders are adorned with British-Made 1st Lieutenant bars, as well as a British-made "stubby wing" 8th Air Force shoulder sleeve insignia - which is hand-sewn to the sleeve. A nice set of 3 pin-back Sterling Aviator Wings are pinned to the left breast, and a Presidential Unit Citation on the right. Overall, a very nice named pilot's uniform from the Mighty Eigth! The coat remains in very good condition, showing signs of age, use, and wear.
