Looking for help with this.. I have JFK Air Force One Dinner Plate Set, they came off Air Force One after JFK was killed. From what I was told some family member worked on Air Force One at the time, since has passed. They were given to my Grandmother thereafter who passed them to me. I don't know to much more about them then that. As you can see in the pics on the bottom they are stamped with numbers. looking for value or info on how to get them insured. Do have many more pics so please email me if you can help.
I wonder why the date says 1947?
This is what I came up with for that but I figure it has to do with air force in somes way.September 18 – Most provisions of theNational Security Act go into effect, reorganizing the military to form theNational Military Establishment (later theDepartment of Defense) with subordinate Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force; creating theCentral Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council; and establishing theSecretary of Defense.September 26 – U.S. Air Force is made a separate branch of the military.
Well, your set is awesome! A priceless treasure.
Yep, you're right. The Air Force was established as a separate branch in 1947. Makes complete sense!
