An EBay vendor has listed the pilot wings that belonged to Joseph G. Fickling, Elizabeth Short’s onetime boyfriend. Apparently these items were in a storage unit. The vendor has posted a photo of Fickling’s dog tags (not included in the sale) to prove authenticity.

I interviewed Fickling in 1996 about the case and found him to be a very nice man. After his death, some of Fickling’s other militaria was listed on EBay, including a uniform, as I recall.

Bidding on the pilot wings starts at $59.99. As with anything on EBay, an item and vendor should be investigated thoroughly before submitting a bid.
