Hello Tod!
Again, congratulations for the magnific piece of History! It is, a wonderful clothing.
I am afraid this Captain George Lautier was a former WW1 pilot. You can see on the site above, that he is not mentioned as a WW2 pilot. The other point that leads me to believe he probably flew in WW1 OR on any Campaign during the 20-30´s is that the cloth you acquired is dated December 1939. The DSC ( If this is really the DSC ribbon ) can lead us to search any kind of relationship with the American Air Force in WW1. Maybe he was a former Flight Instructor or Flight Commander with US Air Forces in WW1.
I will try to check the WW1 possibility for you, but do have no time available the next couple of days. Please wait, ok?
Meanwhile, have a check on this site:
