Jungle Jacket attributed to Major Daniloff
Jungle jacket belonged to Major Frederick Donald Daniloff. Unfortunately, he was killed in an OV-1 Mohawk airplane test at Ft. Rucker in 1974. As for the jacket itself, I believe it was worn when he was a Company Commander of the 191st Assault Helicopter Company from 3 Sept 69 - 27 Jan 70. It's later 3rd pattern ripstop model with custom-added epaulets (By Vietnamese tailor). AFAIK, this jacket is from the Late lan Phillips collection since 80s. Highlighted: •Direct embroidered name, US Army, aviator wing, jump wing, major rank, and engineer branch. •Subdued 1st Aviation Brigade w/ theater-made Ranger tab unit patch, Full-color meowed 101st Airborne combat patch. Very honored to have this in my collection. OV-1 Class 72-7 Detailed Information Direct-embroidered detail w/ Ranger tab Custom epaulets added Back-Side (1) Back-Side 2
