WWII Ace Capt. MELVYN R. PAISLEY, USAF 8Vs, Ass't. Secretary of the Navy 1981-87

Description: WWII Ace Capt. MELVYN R. PAISLEY, USAF 8Vs, Ass't. Secretary of the Navy 1981-87 100% genuine signature of WWII Ace Capt. Melvyn R. Paisley, USAAF (1924-2001). Paisley served with the 390th FS, 366th FG during WWII. He was credited with destroying 8 enemy planes. His combat decorations include the DSC, Silver Star, and multiple awards of the DFC and the Air Medal. After the war, Paisley became the Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison after being convicted of corruption and accepting hundreds of thousand of dollars in bribes. He was caught up in Operation III Wind, a 3-year FBI investigation into corruption by government and military officials, and civilian defense contractors. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. This is a scarce signature. Read the entire listing carefully. If you have questions for something not already in the listing ask them before bidding/buying. Won't respond to questions where I already took the time to put the answer in the listing. Likewise I don't respond to questions that revolve around lowball offers. If I wanted a low ball price for my stuff I'd simply wholesale the entire collection to dealers who would change much more than my price. My prices are more than fair for buyer and seller alike. Look at the photos as they are part of the description. Combined shipping is a given. I will rarely, if ever, use the Best Offer option in the future. I'm tired of all the inane low ball offers. I will not send out offers to perennial watchers either. I will give the absolute best price I can from the door. It's the bottom line, no wiggle room price. If an item doesn't sell within two 30-day listing cycles it will be replaced. Accepting want lists for military signatures. Serious buyers only. I'm recovering from a stroke and have zero patience for time wasters. No low ballers, hagglers, know-it-alls, supposed relatives, or others who think lame bargaining ploys will net them gold for the price of tin. I am NOT a dealer. I am a private collector. I have no overhead or a driving need to sell. But I have been collecting military signatures for over 55 years, and I'm offering these items solely as a means to downsize my accumulations and share with fellow collectors. I have a lot of time and money invested in my collections. I have to protect my investments. I don't ask for full retail or top dollar, but I won't sell for a price that is unfair to either of us. If you want my help with your collecting I'm here. If not that's cool too. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!!
