Lt. Alfred king
I have recently acquired a silver medallion sent to Alfred king as a christmas present from Emmy and Herman Goring and dated 1935.
the oval medallion has the Goring coat of arms incorporating a shield, with an arm pulling a ring.
It would appear from previous postings that he was a ww1 pilot with 4 kills to his name.
Does any know anything about the planes he shot down, his career after the First World War and how he new Hermann Goring.

Regards,
Cliff Jones

Cliff, sounds like an interesting item, can you post photos of it? I know there is information on King in the O'Connor series.
