Wright Field, Materiel Division Field and Hangar Pass
The collection consists of a brass medallion, 1 ¼” in diameter, with the number 1018 imprinted in the middle. Imprinted around the number, in a circular pattern, is “Materiel Div. Wright Field.” The donor indicates, in the accession documents, that the item was a Field and Hangar Pass. Since the Material Division of the Army Air Corps did not move to Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, until 1927, the earliest this item can be dated is 1927. The exact date is unknown.
