100 Missions Up North
DAYTON, Ohio - This artifact has a remarkable story. In the summer of 1966, Air Force Academy Cadet Richard Hall visited McConnell AFB, and met Bruce Holmes. Holmes gave Cadet Hall this Thai-made tiger-stripe suit with one of his 100 mission patches on it. In January, 1967, Holmes was tragically killed in a house fire. Hall, who retired from the USAF as a lieutenant colonel, kept this artifact for three decades, and donated it to the museum in 2007. The artifact is on display in the 100 Missions Up North exhibit in the Southeast Asia War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo)
