Re: Tommy Thompson Military Service Knife?
Here is the response:
He flew a P-51 Mustang during the war and an F-86 Sabre jet in the Alaska Air National Guard. Later on he flew for Air America in Vietnam it was the C-7 Caribou and Pilatis Porter . He didn’t meet Bo until after the war in the 50s . To my knowledge he only carried the standard issue .45 ACP . I do have a British commando dagger that he brought back from when he was stationed in England. He always raved about the Randall knives and had several including the Yukon Skinner Ward Gay gave him.
Hope this helps answer your questions.
The attached photo below is his guide plane and includes the name "Tommy Thompson" on the fuselage.
