Collected by Jack Tippit, 13th Army Air Force, Pacific Theatre, WWII. A Pilot's good luck token, you were asked for your "Short Snorter" when you entered a bar. If you could not produce one, you had to buy a round of drinks for the house, but someone would provide your 'starter'. Currency from many countries and Occupied Zones, with many signatures of other air crews. Twelve feet long, (25) bills taped with medical tape, mostly from Japanese Occupied countries. Jack D. Tippit flew combat missions as a B-24 pilot in the Southwest Pacific in World War II and jet aircraft in the Korean War. He never lost his affection for airplanes and airmen, and remained in the Air Force Reserve. He retired as a colonel in 1974.
