The Armor: In 1949, the 332nd Fighter Group entered the first USAF Gunnery Meet and achieved absolute perfection, winning the Reciprocating Engine Class in their F-47N Thunderbolts. This shield represents the undeniable truth of that victory. The Artifact: For over five decades, the physical proof of their dominance—a three-foot silver trophy—sat lost in museum storage. Uncovered in 2005 by historian Zellie Rainey Orr, the truth could no longer be contained. The Classic is worn to ensure this history is permanently protected. 10% of the profits will be directly donated to organizations dedicated to supporting and mentoring future Black aviators and leaders.Size guide WIDTH (inches) LENGTH (inches) FITS WEIGHT (LBS) (lbs) EUR SIZE YEARS 2T 12 15 ½ 30-33 92 2 3T 13 16 ½ 33-36 98 3 4T 14 17 ½ 36-40 104 4 5T 15 18 ½ 40-45 110 5
