Mike,

I don’t think it is USAAC. It looks nothing like the USAAC SSI I have seen. Their colors are, as a general rule, always red, white, and blue, with gold or silver wings. It could still be American with AAC standing for something else. A quick opinion on a snowy Sunday morning.

Mike, I tend to agree with Don. It does not resemble any AAC insignia I am familiar with. What caught my eye is the 365, as in days of the year.

Hi, the reason I thought it might be American was that it came with the CB flash. I've included a rear view as maybe from the construction one could tell period of construction and origins, best wishes Mike
