VINTAGE WORLD WAR II NOVELTY SCARF FEATURING THE 12TH AIR FORCE, 1945

Scarce and terrific vintage scarf designed by John Lavalle, circa 1945, printed white silk featuring motifs related to the Twelfth Air Force, including its triangular insignia, images of airplanes and falling bombs, and aircraft names (including Culpepper Jinx, Red the Wrecker, Little Sarocco, Hoo Doo Hawk, etc.), bearing the design patent number D140144, measuring approx. 32" x 36".

The patent application for this design (which may be viewed in its entirety at Google Patents), notes that the designer, John Lavalle, was in the army at the time the patent was granted.
