Re: Lt. K Bartman USAAF, 9th AF

Hi,
Just a question.

What are the ribbons ? DFM, DFC? and the RAAF all blue one ?

These awards may also help narrow him down.

Well I found what looks like on the left breast:
The US DFC with oakleaf.
The US Air Medal with three oakleaf's
The US European and Africa and Midle East Campaign Medal with three Bronz Stars This seems to be placed the wrong way up(?)
US Pilots Wings

While on the right:
The RAAF Wings
And What looks like the US Medal of Honour but I am doubtful if it is, it looks wrong. So what is this one ? the RAF's Conspicuous Galantry Medal or the Aircrew Europe Ribbon ?

I give a reason for the one with Bronz stars being the wrong way up. Could that have been due to the award being for his time with the RAAF ?

Alex
