Aviators silk scarf worn by Lt. Col. Woodrow W. Crockett, ca. 1942. Creator: Unknown

Woodrow W. Crockett joined the 349th Field Artillery Regiment of the US army in August 1940, the first African-American field artillery unit in the regular army.
Crockett later transferred to Alabamas Tuskegee Institute as an aviation cadet and became one of the pilots of the famous Tuskegee Airmen. The scarf is slightly yellowed and has several small brown stains throughout. One end of the scarf is stamped with faded black stenciled letters, reading [W. W. CROCKET] on the left side and [CENTURY FIGHTER] on the right side. The words appear on the same face of the scarf
