His original crew assignment and a smoke ration card.

I am not sure, but I think this is the original crew he was assigned at Kearney Air Field before he deployed to England. Although upon arrival he had a different Pilot (and new Navigator).

Note that Tennant has MOS 1024 "Pilot, four engine" and Anthony has MOS 1022 "Bomber pilot, two engine" rather than the expected MOS of 1091 "Pilot, B-17." This may support the conjecture that this is Mosher's original crew upon entering transition training.

Based on Mosher's list of duty stations (on back of 100th mission invitation), it would appear that the tobacco ration card was from the period when he was awaiting discharge after combat service.
