MAJOR GEN. CALEB VANCE HAYNES TWO-STAR MAJOR GENERAL�S FLAG
Two-star major general's flag owned and used by Major. Gen. CALEB VANCE HAYES in the post-war years. The 52 x 39 in. flag bears white stars which have been separately sewn to the flag, which also has a 2 in. yellow fringe on three sides. One side is sleeved and contains leather tabs allowing the flag to be presented vertically or horizontally. Fine. 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.
