I bought this great group from a good friend of mine several weeks ago as an unknown.I was fooling around on the computer trying to ID it when one post caught my eye.The post mentioned The Amarillo Daily News.I then bought a subscription to Newspapers.com ans started searching some of the dates mentioned on the Dinner Menu.If you want to own a real piece of US Naval Aviation History just read the scans.TheSquadron was patterened after the Famous WW1 US Navy Squadron whichbecame the first US Naval Aviation Squadron to see combat in any war.The Texas Plainsmen Squadron was recriuted from small towns in the Panhandle of Texas.The insignia shows a Texas Cowboy riding a bucking Buffalo and the Cowboy has his arms around the handle of a frying pan thus The Panhandle.The best part of this group was finding out what it was and copying the printed article to the typed version.offer with confidence its real and after 35 years of patch business if I have to spend days figuring bit out you know its rare.
