Rare WW2 U.S. Air Corps POW Made Wings (Stalag 17B) from my Father:
$456.99

Over the years I\'ve had many collectors wishing to buy these two wings that my Father made while a POW in Stalag 17B. My Father was Frederick J. Rentz and he was a Gunner on a B-17F Serial # 42-5798 with the 8th Air Force, 92nd Bomb Group, 327th Bomb Squadron. He was shot down on July 28,1943 on a raid over Kassel, Germany with the target being a Aircraft Factory. My Father was wounded along with other crew members and the Pilot Benjamin Smotherman belly landed the plane in Holland and my Father was captured immediately. He ended up in Stalag 17B, in Krems, Austria. While as a prisoner he made these 2 wings from lead from cans from Red Cross parcels. I have photos of my Dad\'s items shown to add provenance. I\'m not parting with any other items but what is shown in the first photo which consists of the following: 1) the 2 wings 2) 4 letters he sent home to his parents and sister from Stalag 17B. 3) a photo taken in some light weight flying gear taken at Gunnery School, Kessler Field, Miss. 4) newspaper article about my parents Wedding with 5 former POWs from Delaware in his wedding party. 5). A large colorized photo copy of my Father. ********** I\'m basing my starting price on what I was offered years ago for the wings. I will also pay for free shipping and insurance.
