<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4454442, member: 2844&quot;]Hi Jennifer! I have left Antiquers (for the time being), but saw your post and think I could shed some light on the historical part:</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that particular connection is unlikely. My father-in-law also trained as a pilot there during the same period, before he was sent to the Netherlands East Indies Squadron in Broome, Australia. He never owned an American ring, so it wasn&#039;t customary. </p><p>The Jackson Army Airfield was an allied forces air base at the time, so it was quite international. Dutch and Netherlands East Indies military instructors were sent there from Europe and Asia to train Dutch pilots etc for specialised tasks. Other countries had similar training programs in Jackson.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that could be it. It is a lovely ring.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
