A WW2 Bancroft Flighter Crusher cap with stenciled name and ASN on underside of bill.  Named to Lt. Owen C. Johnson in 3 places on bill.  Johnson enlisted for flight training in 1943 and graduated from fighter school in 1944. He is shown as a flight instructor and probably ended up overseas in 1945.  The morning reports show that he was sent to a replacement battalion in late 1944 but I do not have access to the 1945 reports to see who he was with.

Cap is in very good condition with about 3 very minor flea bites on top.  All stitching is intact and cap is a large size, too big for mannequin head.  The classic wartime crusher.
