MAJOR GEN. CALEB VANCE HAYNES BRIGADIER GENERAL�S STARS AND COLLAR PINS
Pair of sterling silver brigadier general's "stars" each 1 in. wide, along with a "U.S." lapel, unmarked but likely also silver, clutch back, all having been owned and worn by Major Gen. CALEB VANCE HAYNES. Haynes was promoted to brigadier general on Sep. 5, 1942 and held that rank until September, 1949. Consigned directly by a linear descendant, with our letter of provenance. CALEB VANCE HAYNES (1895-1966) was a U.S. Air Force major general and one of the most important and talented military aviators and commanders of World War II. Haynes organized the Assam-Burma-China Ferry Command and evacuated Burma with the Chinese and RAF. He then went to China to organize and command the Bomber Command of the China Air Task Force under Gen. Claire Chennault. He later returned to India to organize the India Air Task Force of the 10th Air Force.
