Maj. Gen. (ret.) John Alison, World War II Ace and co-commander of the 1st Air Commando Group, checks out the Flying Tiger jewelry on the shoulder of a female admirer at the Air Force Association’s annual Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition at the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor, MD, on Tuesday, September 14, 2010.
