I’m a former Civil Air patrol cadet and senior officer of the 1980’s I think all former members from WW2 up to today all deserve a medal like this. I didn’t get to go to the service because of me being to light and disqualified from military service. I didn’t want to sit by and do nothing either so my Airforce recuiter said C.A.P. will take you and they did. I gave four years of volunteer service

As a wwii cap vet I like O-15 and R-14 .O-15 also represents the ground support teams.

My favorite combination would be O-06 or O-07 (the only difference I can see is the face of the woman)/R-04. The second best reverse would be R-09.

Well, the CFA samples were O-15/R-04 but I agree with the O-14/R-04 choice.

The coin that should not be considered is 013. The aircraft depicted is a 1947 Stinson 108 series aircraft that was not produced during WW2. Additionally, the bomb is mounted aft of the landing gear on the right side of the aircraft. The aircraft that should be depicted is, the Stinson L9B from the left side displaying the aft of the left main gear bomb mount location. As a matter of technical accuracy the bomb was mounted in that location due to a physical hard point which accommodated the third seat that was removed and was an optimum location for the bomb to maintain correct CG,

I agree with George Minnich. The O-14R-04 is also my choice.

After looking over all the samples I agree with the CFA samples at the top of the page. Many of the others are either too busy or cluttered, while many of the others are too simple r do not show enough or other reasons. The O-14/R-04 combination is a good balance.

this run of collectors coins should start a revelation of appreciation.The sooner they are made the better.If they are man made gold I feel the protection coating helps pretty well. thank you,timothy Whitling
